About this Research Topic
This research topic aims to deepen our understanding of disease transmission between invasive vertebrates and domestic/wild animals and humans. Despite the growing body of research on invasive species and diseases, there are still significant gaps in our knowledge, particularly regarding the epidemiological significance of invasive vertebrates. This research topic seeks to address these gaps and provide novel insights that can inform disease control and management strategies.
The scope of this research topic is broad, encompassing a range of themes related to invasive vertebrates and disease transmission. We welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Pathogen discovery in invasive vertebrate species
- Disease ecology in invasive vertebrate species
- Evidence of cross-species transmission between invasive and native vertebrate species
- Epidemiological risks of invasive vertebrates to commercial species and humans
- Control and management strategies in invasive vertebrate species and their implications for disease control in animal and human populations
- Specific pathogens such as Pseudorabies, Canine-borne viruses, Avian influenza, Tuberculosis, Paratuberculosis, Leptospirosis, Toxoplasmosis, Trichinellosis, Sarcoptic mange, Chytridiomycosis, etc.
- Manuscript types: Original Research, Brief Research Report.
Keywords: Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians, Pseudorabies, Canine-borne viruses, Avian influenza, Tuberculosis, Paratuberculosis, Leptospirosis, Toxoplasmosis, Trichinellosis, Sarcoptic mange, Chytridiomycosis, Fish
