Advances and developments in the aetiology, epidemiology, and diagnosis of neurological and respiratory diseases of ruminants

This Research Topic aims to focus on advancements in understanding and managing infectious diseases in ruminants. The occurrence of infectious diseases in ruminants presents ongoing challenges for global livestock industries. The continuous emergence and impact of these diseases on ruminant health, productivity, and nutrition necessitate vigilant monitoring to ensure the consistent supply of high-quality meat and dairy products. Accurate diagnosis, timely intervention, and strategic control measures are crucial in combating infectious diseases and safeguarding animal welfare.

The objectives of this Research Topic are:
• To investigate epidemiological trends in ruminant infectious diseases.
• To explore the aetiology and pathogenesis of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases affecting respiratory, alimentary, and central nervous systems in various ruminant species.
• To influence ruminant production practices through effective disease control strategies.
• To provide insights into the monitoring and management of infectious diseases to enhance future interventions.

We welcome submissions of original research papers, brief research reports, reviews, and systematic reviews that contribute to the understanding and advancement of knowledge in this crucial field of infectious disease research in ruminants.
