Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Pathogens and Natural Toxins e-conference (https://sciforum.net/event/PNTEC) brings together a wide range of disciplines, from toxinology to ecology to animal behaviour. This will allow for a more holistic investigation of microbial and animal toxins as well as pathogenic organisms. This Special Issue is open to any paper that fits within this very broad theme and from any author, not just those who are involved in the e-conference. Of particular interest will be those papers which address broad conceptual issues that span multiple taxon or toxin classes, or are multidisciplinary, such as investigating how evolutionary selection pressures on independently toxic or pathogenic lineages have resulted in convergent clinical effects. It is hoped that this novel approach will bring together scientists from fields which do not normally intersect, in order to facilitate a broad and dynamic investigation of the toxic and pathogenic world around us.
Dr. Bryan Grieg Fry
Guest Editor
