A zoonosis is an infectious disease that has jumped from a non-human animal to humans. Bacteria zoonotic pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, paratuberculosis, Brucella spp., and Chlamydia, can spread to humans through direct contact or through food, water, or the environment. The zoonotic pathogens pose a major a substantial global health threat, due to our close relationship with animals in agriculture, as companions, and in the natural environment. Zoonoses can also cause disruptions in the production and trade of animal products for food and other uses. To bridge the gaps existing between our knowledge of bacterial zoonoses and the One Health strategy, this Research Topic focuses on the mechanism, pathogenicity, and immunopathology, host-pathogen interactions, host immunity, as well as studying bacterial bioinformatics in developing therapeutics, prophylaxis, and vaccine regarding four important zoonotic diseases: brucellosis, tuberculosis, paratuberculosis, and chlamydia.
We invite submissions of original research articles, short reports, or reviews under the following subtopics:
• Emerging and Endemic Bacterial Zoonotic infections in wild animals, pet dogs and pet cats, ruminants, etc.
• Development of effective vaccines to prevent TB, Brucella, Paratuberculosis, or the infection of Chlamydia
• Host-pathogen interactions and immune evasion strategies by mycobacteria, brucella, or chlamydia.
• Immunopathology and host immunity in bacterial zoonotic infections.
