Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A zoonotic disease is an infectious disease that crosses from non-human animal sources to human sources. There are more than 200 known zoonotic diseases. Zoonotic diseases account for a large proportion of emerging and existing diseases in humans. There are many disease epidemics that have zoonotic origins. Zoonotic pathogens can be transmitted to humans through any point of contact with domestic, agricultural, or wild animals. With the process of urbanization and the invasion of wild animal habitats, the probability of zoonotic transmission has greatly increased. More importantly, the continuous use of various antibiotics in animal production, food processing, and agricultural production, and the increasing resistance of various pathogens to antibiotics, make the pathogens spread more rapidly, which poses a great challenge to our response.
This Special Issue aims to study the diagnosis and detection of zoonotic pathogens, the reduction in antibiotic susceptibility, the epidemiology of pathogens, novel antimicrobials or antimicrobial approaches to combat antibiotic resistance, and other antimicrobial or pathogen research related to zoonotic diseases. The original research articles and review articles are encouraged and other types of articles are also welcome to be submitted.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Antibiotics.
