Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Zoonotic diseases represent the largest percentage of newly emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. Viral zoonoses include those which jump directly and indirectly between animals and humans. Viral zoonotic transmission occurs at points of contact between humans and both wild and domesticated animals, with the risks for spillover events influenced by host and environmental factors. The prevention, response, and mitigation of zoonotic disease transmission is multifactorial, and the development of an integrated One Health approach for managing and preventing transmission is essential to prevent the next pandemic.
This Special Issue will cover recent developments in viral zoonoses with a focus on One Health strategies for the containment and mitigation of viral zoonotics. We welcome the submission of research articles, review articles, and short communications relevant to this issue. We invite aspects for control including, but not limited to, novel therapeutic development, vaccine strategies, and methods for environmental control. Epidemiology and methods for surveillance with emphasis on building predictive models and preventative strategies are also welcome.
Prof. Dr. Maureen T. Long
Guest Editor
