Veterinary Infectious Diseases
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Veterinary infectious diseases are factors that impact the health of livestock, domestic animals and wildlife. Their study includes infectious-disease-causing pathogens, epidemiology, diagnostic methods, molecular evolution, immune responses, treatment and prevention. As we know, almost two-thirds of the pathogens that cause diseases in humans are of animal origin, such as SARS-CoV/COVID-19, avian influenza virus, rabies virus, Ebola virus, etc. In addition to those zoonoses, other animal-species-specific infectious diseases, such as Africa Swine Fever (ASF), Classical Swine Fever (CSF), Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), Newcastle Disease (ND), Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD), African Horse Sickness (AHS), etc., are also extremely important.
Therefore, the scope of this topic focuses on the recent findings in pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnostic methods, molecular evolution, immune responses, treatment and prevention of animal viral diseases.
