Animal Diseases in Agricultural Production Systems: Their Veterinary, Zoonotic, and One Health Importance, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The focus of the Topic is on diseases in farm animals and companion animals, encompassing not only orthopaedic and surgical aspects but also addressing issues related to pathophysiological mechanisms, treatment, and pharmacology. The aim of the topic is to adopt a holistic approach to animal health, considering both diagnosis and effective therapeutic strategies.

The Topic delves into the pathophysiological mechanisms of various diseases in animals, aiming to better understand their origin and development. Additionally, contributions that explore the development of diagnostic methods for early disease detection and effective therapeutic intervention planning are highly encouraged.

The Topic extends beyond surgery and orthopaedics to encompass various aspects of treatment, including the utilization of modern pharmacological methods. Research on different pharmaceutical substances and their impact on animal health, with the goal of seeking innovative therapeutic solutions, is a key focus of the Topic.

Additionally, the Topic includes the potential application of natural and synthetic antimicrobial peptides (AMP) in animals as therapeutics and in  feed industry.

The Topic's interests span a wide range of veterinary fields, integrating knowledge from surgery, pathophysiology, and pharmacology to effectively combat animal diseases and enhance their overall health, especially in such important problems as osteomyelitis and intraoperative infections.

Within this Topic, experimental studies are also published, with the primary aim of delving into the pathomechanisms associated with various health issues in animals. The research encompasses areas focused on improving the overall health status of animals, with a specific emphasis on supplements, additives, and innovative solutions in this field.
