Perspectives in Veterinary and Zoonotic Infection: 2025

This Research Topic is an integral part of the Perspectives in Cellular and Infection Microbiology series.

This series aims to shed light on contemporary and emerging perspectives in Veterinary and Zoonotic Infection by fostering a diverse range of scholarly contributions. We welcome submissions that offer insightful analysis, forward-thinking viewpoints, and critical evaluations of current theories and their applications in Veterinary and Zoonotic Infection research. Contributions may dissect the strengths, weaknesses, and potential future developments of current conceptual approaches or research methodologies. We encourage authors to explore not only advances in understanding microbial infections impacting vertebrate animals and their implications for human health but also theoretical frameworks and interpretive paradigms shaping the discipline.

We encourage a broad spectrum of article types that contribute to the ongoing discourse and development of Veterinary and Zoonotic Infection research. Submissions may include discussions on the evolution of theories in Veterinary and Zoonotic Infection research, debates on controversial viewpoints, or predictions about future directions in understanding the field. Articles that propose novel syntheses of existing perspectives or suggest innovative applications of theoretical and practical insights across different contexts are particularly welcome.

Each submission will undergo rigorous peer review, emphasizing originality, insight, and relevance to ongoing and future research.
