Around 60%, of infectious and parasitic organisms capable of infecting and impacting human beings originate from animals. Hence, the formulation of an animal protection policy targeting these diseases is intertwined with and significantly impacts public health. The notion of One Health stems from this notion and has been actively advocated by prestigious organizations such as WHO, FAO, and OIE, wherein the analysis, formulation, and implementation of disease control strategies assume paramount importance. Fighting zoonotic agents through animal sources is an effective solution and requires, among many other things, the improvement of specific Control Plans for the broad diversity of pathogens and their corresponding health surveillance system.
The objective of this Research Topic is to share findings with the scientific community and experts in the field of animal health an up-to-date collection of novel treatments, diagnostic assays, disease control programs, and any other methods that could facilitate the surveillance, monitoring, and evaluation of zoonotic diseases (ZDs) in a particular area, such as a country or a farm. Additionally, this Research Topic would be intended to serve as a reference to all stakeholders in their procurement to control zoonotic diseases: Ministries of Health, national program officers, local or international partners including country donors, non-government organizations, WHO, and other public health agencies, veterinarians, the academic and industry partners that collaborate in the development of disease control plans and diagnostic assays for ZDs.
This article collection invites the submission of various manuscript types, including Original Research, Review, Mini Reviews, Brief Research Reports, and Case Report articles, that delve into the aforementioned themes and issues, in particular:
1. The exploration of new and novel diagnostic assays designed for a one health approach used to screen suspected animal reservoirs, vectors, or the environment to provide sufficiently sensitive surveillance or near and post-elimination settings.
2. Disease control plans and methods that aim to target one or more ZDs listed for surveillance, control, or eradication.
3. Studies that cover the development and implementation of such technologies and methods are also welcome, but not limited to them.
Keywords:
Zoonosis, Disease Control, Parasitic Diseases, Animal Health, Immunoprophylaxis, Treatment, One Health
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
