Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Parasitic diseases of livestock are caused by different agents, including ecto- and endoparasites, hemoparasites, and other protozoans. They can cause important economic losses to animal production, and some have zoonotic potential. In recent years, the detection of parasites in livestock has improved due to the development of laboratory techniques for parasite detection with a high sensitivity and specificity.
This Special Issue aims to collect papers on detecting parasitic infections in livestock, including molecular, serological, and parasitological detection in different regions. Furthermore, this Special Issue will highlight the importance of parasitic diseases in different countries, contributing to developing specific control measures.
