About this Research Topic
The possibility of getting zoonotic infections by handling or consuming aquaculture products has greatly increased in the last few years. Zoonotic diseases are relevant issues because of human interaction with aquatic animals in a shared environment. Bacterial and parasitic zoonoses of fishes has received increasing attention and improved histological, microbiological and molecular methods have aided the identification of fish pathogens in human hosts. Deep knowledge of zoonotic infectious diseases and a better understanding of their aetiopathogenesis is a crucial step for the prevention of these entities.
This Research Topic aims to cover infectious and parasitic diseases of aquatic animals with a particular focus on zoonotic potential. For this Research Topic of Frontiers in Veterinary Science, we invite you to submit papers on pathological features associated with pathogen identification, characterization, host-pathogen interactions including host inflammatory response to the pathogens.
Topics of interest, related to zoonoses in aquatic animals, include but are not limited to:
- Pathology (histology, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization)
- Pathogenesis
- Microbiology
- Clinical and molecular aspects
- Bio-chemical parasitology
- Immuno-pathogenesis
We hope to assemble a series of contributions offering a comprehensive view of zoonoses in aquatic animal’s field caused by bacteria and parasites by submission of original research articles as well as review papers.
You are kindly invited to contribute to this Research Topic with your recent findings on this topic to improve the knowledge on the zoonosis associated with parasites and infectious disease in aquatic animals.
Neither basic clinical descriptions of an infectious disease nor surveys on the presence or absence of pathogens in/on hosts in specific regions will be considered for publication. Perspective authors are reminded that submitted manuscripts must fall within the the scope of the journal.
