Spotlight on Veterinary Transfusion Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

Blood transfusions and blood product administration can be lifesaving procedures. Over the last decade, employment of blood banking and transfusion medicine have significantly increased, especially for dogs and cats. However, knowledge gaps exist for this process in horses, food animals, wild and exotic animals.

We encourage improving the knowledge of transfusion medicine, blood banking and blood groups, as well as blood typing methods, covering any animal species. We invite our colleagues to contribute with applied research, reviews and meta-analysis work to achieve this goal.

This Special Issue addresses the need to strengthen the flow and exchange of information between veterinary and medical sciences through the publication of a selection of research articles from leading scientists in this field. It is hoped that this Special Issue will further stimulate collaboration between scientists engaged in all aspects of transfusion medicine research.
