The increasing interconnectedness of the global economy and the rise in international trade and travel have led to the rapid spread of infectious diseases across borders. In the field of veterinary medicine, ensuring the biosecurity of animal populations is paramount to preventing outbreaks that can have devastating consequences for animal health, public health, and the economy. This collection of articles will delve into the multifaceted aspects of biosecurity, presenting comprehensive research and reviews that cover the latest advancements, challenges, and strategies in this critical area.
Biosecurity encompasses a range of practices and measures designed to protect animal populations from infectious agents. This includes controlling the introduction and spread of pathogens through rigorous quarantine procedures, vaccination programs, and hygiene protocols. With one key area of focus being the role of biosecurity in different animal industries, including livestock, poultry, aquaculture, and companion animals, where each sector faces unique challenges and requires tailored strategies to address specific risks.
Studies involving One Health approaches and the impact of climate change on the spread of infectious diseases and the challenges it poses for biosecurity will be also considered. As climate patterns shift, so do the habitats and behaviors of vectors and pathogens, necessitating adaptive biosecurity strategies.
In conclusion, this collection aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of biosecurity in veterinary medicine, offering insights into effective practices, emerging technologies, and collaborative efforts that can enhance the prevention and control of infectious diseases by bringing together the latest research and expert perspectives.
Scope: This collection aims to gather cutting-edge research and/or reviews on the latest developments in biosecurity measures, strategies, and innovations to combat infectious diseases in different realities, including animal hospitals, farms and/or animal husbandry centers, and different species like livestock, poultry, aquaculture species and companion animals. The goal is to address the various aspects of biosecurity that are critical in preventing the spread of infectious diseases among animal populations, with implications for public health, animal welfare, and global trade.
