Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In a rapidly growing world, the connection between humans, animals and the environment has never been closer. Their very close and dynamic interactions lead to new challenges in the form of dramatic mutual effects of humans, animals and the environment on their well-being, health and sustainability. We invite researchers to disseminate high-quality papers through this Special Issue covering (but not limited to) the following topics:
- Animal welfare and biosecurity in human–animal–environment interactions;
- Animal, human and plant biomarkers of stress response to environmental stressors (greenhouse effect and global warming, heat stress, heavy metals pollutants, electromagnetic waves etc.);
- Zoonosis, infectious disease and vector-borne disease in different environmental conditions;
- Rational antibiotic usage, antimicrobial resistance, pathogenic and non-pathogenic human–animal–environment microbiome transfer;
- Fish and bees as indicator species of environmental conditions;
- Human–animal–environment interactions in education, rehabilitation and therapy;
- Critical control points in human–animal–environment interaction and public health—importance of human and veterinary hospitals, animal shelters, zoos, medical waste processing facilities, slaughterhouses, livestock cemeteries;
- Water quality and wastewater control in public and environmental health;
- Exposure to forests, disease risks and stress hormones in humans and animals;
- One Health concept as a new interface for a comprehensive approach to human–animal–environment interactions.
