Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Veterinary pathologists are essential in the struggle against diseases in both domestic and livestock species, having a key role in identifying emerging diseases that affect humans and animals. The identification and characterization of pathological alterations are fundamental to recognize emerging diseases. Diseases reduce animals’ health and productivity, also causing economic loss. Moreover, clinical observation, anatomopathological description, diagnosis, and pathogenesis evaluations are crucial to interpret the pathological problem and formulate an effective strategy for disease prevention.
Thus, the aim of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality papers related to veterinary pathology, with a particular focus on animal health linked also to humans. Both domestic and wild animals are an excellent model to study human pathology; in fact, some spontaneous pathologies allow us to better study and understand comparative pathology. As is well known, animals represent an environmental indicator for human health; the residues present in products and byproducts of animal origin from environmental pollution, farming techniques, and unsuitable therapeutic interventions should not be underestimated. Thus, we invite you to submit your recent findings to this Special Issue as original research or review articles as well as case reports regarding veterinary pathology with a focus on animal health, but not limited to comparative pathology and oncology; clinical pathology; zoonoses and infectious diseases; the use of functional feed additives or nutraceuticals to improve gut health and immune status; microbiota; drug effects on animal health and safety; and environmental pollution effects on animals.
