The diagnosis and treatment of parasitic diseases have undergone major changes. Increased awareness of the different clinical manifestations caused by parasitic diseases and newly developed diagnostic techniques allow for faster and more accurate diagnosis of parasitic diseases caused by metazoans and protozoa. Furthermore, the increase in knowledge of parasite biology in recent years and the improvement of drug screening tools have led to the discovery and validation of new potential drug targets and molecules with antiparasitic activity.
The scope of the collection would be around the updates on “One Health Approach in Zoonosis” with focus in control measures, diagnosis and treatment of parasitic and infectious diseases, specially neglected diseases with a zoonotic transmission pattern.
We know that strategies supporting the prevention and control of NTDs include early diagnosis and treatment, especially more efficacious drugs. And it is interesting to emphasize that these diagnostic and treatment practices must often be directed at infected humans as well as at other vertebrate hosts (reservoirs) involved in the transmission of zoonotic diseases.
This special Issue brings the possibility of gathering interesting publications in the field of research related to One Health approach in Zoonosis aiming strategies to control, diagnosis and treat neglected diseases to increase contributions to the knowledge of this subject.
Research areas of interest include (but are not limited to) "how can we better integrate the prevention, treatment, control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) with other health interventions in a One Health concept?". Furthermore, topics such as epidemiology of human and animal infectious zoonotic diseases; immunopathology of human and animal infectious diseases; clinical, treatment and diagnosis of human and animal infectious zoonotic diseases.
For this Special Issue the following types of articles may be published:
- Original Research
- Brief Research Report
- Methods
- Review
- Mini Review
- Perspective
