Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infectious diseases of domestic and wild ungulates are still a major concern for the economic sustainability of the livestock industry, wildlife conservation and pose a serious threat to public health. Efforts to control these diseases require the development of strategies that take into account the dynamic and complex interrelationships that exist between both sides of the wild/domestic interface, and the precise definition of the effects that several environmental, biological, economic and social agents, among others, have in how diseases emerge, are transmitted and are maintained.
It is widely accepted that the complex dynamics involving these diseases require a holistic approach (“One Health”). The ecopathological method considers all the agents involved in the presence of disease as active members of a system in which health is an indicator of the overall performance. Therefore, there is a great need of further research from diverse disciplines to produce substantial knowledge that allows the establishment of optimized and targeted measures to achieve better global health.
In this Special Issue, we aim to provide the opportunity to publish original research or review papers in the field of highly infecto-contagious diseases of domestic and wild ungulates. In particular, we aim to include studies that improve our understanding of the epidemiological mechanisms involved in the emerging and maintaining of infectious diseases of domestic and wild ungulates: influence of the different involved agents, reservoir animals, risk factors, geographical spread, transmission, etc.; contributions on epidemiological methodologies that aid in addressing the particular challenges in the surveillance, monitoring and the ecopathological characterization of disease or development and validation of new diagnostic tools for infectious diseases in domestic and wild ungulates
You are cordially invited to contribute on these or other related research topics in order to improve the knowledge on the ecopathology of infectious diseases of domestic and wild ungulates.
