About this Research Topic
This Research Topic is a continuation of the successful topic launched in Veterinary Infectious Diseases, https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/13197/zoonotic-diseases-their-hosts-and-vectors
The field of zoonotic parasitic diseases, which can be transmitted between animals and humans, is currently experiencing significant advancements. These diseases, caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi, vary widely in their symptoms and severity, with some leading to severe illness or death. The transmission of these parasites can occur through various sources, including food, domestic and wild animals, and vectors. However, the detection, treatment, and control of these diseases are often complicated by a lack of comprehensive knowledge about them. This issue is further exacerbated by factors such as global warming, which is leading to an exponential increase in many zoonotic diseases, and the exchange of animals and people through travel or purchases, which can introduce new vectors to previously disease-free areas.
The primary aim of this research topic is to enhance our understanding of zoonotic parasitic diseases, including those that have the potential to become zoonotic. This includes gaining a deeper understanding of their biology, epidemiology, and the local, regional, country, or global advances in their diagnosis, treatment, and control. Additionally, the research topic aims to facilitate the exchange of information about these diseases, particularly in relation to their proteome, immunome, and molecular aspects, as well as new vaccinal and diagnostic tools.
The scope of this research topic is primarily focused on zoonotic parasitic diseases and their potential counterparts. We welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- The biology and epidemiology of zoonotic parasitic diseases
- Advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and control of these diseases
- The study of parasite/host relationships
- Studies on the proteome, immunome, and molecular aspects of these diseases
- New vaccinal and diagnostic tools for zoonotic parasitic diseases
- Clinical cases and short manuscripts related to these diseases.
