Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The surveillance of the infectious diseases present in wildlife species is critical for the control of various infections. Several infections involving wildlife, particularly those caused by zoonotic pathogens and linked with wildlife reservoirs, represent threats to domestic animals and humans. Wild animals seem to be involved in the epidemiology of most zoonoses, and serve as major reservoirs for the transmission of zoonotic agents to domestic animals and humans. The goal of this Research Topic is to increase the understanding of these interactions and to provide information on the role of wildlife in the transmission and maintenance of infectious diseases in Europe, with particular emphasis on zoonoses and infections which are transmissible from wild to domestic animals. These findings will be valuable in developing, refining, and adapting surveillance strategies to better monitor infections at the wild–domestic animal interface. This Special Issue will focus on the issues of epidemiological studies in wildlife (including, but not limited to, molecular epidemiology, serological epidemiology, diagnosis, etc.) and incorporate original research and review articles, designed to provide an overview of advances in the monitoring of infectious in wildlife. Case reports accurately describing cases and discoveries of infectious diseases are also welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Serena Montagnaro
