Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases in wildlife are critical threats to biodiversity, human health, and economies worldwide. These diseases often jump across species, leading to severe outbreaks among animals and humans. The growing impacts of climate change, habitat loss, and increased interaction between humans and wildlife only heighten these risks. To effectively manage and mitigate these diseases, innovative diagnostic and pathological strategies that can adapt to the complex and ever-changing nature of wildlife ecosystems are essential.
This Research Topic aims to explore and encourage the development of pathological and diagnostic methods used in monitoring and managing emerging and re-emerging diseases among wildlife populations. We are looking to uncover and discuss effective strategies that prevent diseases from spreading among wildlife, livestock, and humans, improving ecological and public health. This collection intends to create a multidisciplinary conversation that connects traditional pathology with wildlife disease diagnostics, propelling solutions that match the complexity of the ecosystems involved.
This Research Topic invites contributions that focus on innovative approaches to diagnosing and understanding the pathogenesis of infectious diseases in wildlife. Specific themes of interest include, but are not limited to, the development and application of novel diagnostic technologies, cellular and molecular studies on disease mechanisms, and the impact of environmental changes on disease dynamics. We encourage submissions of original research articles, reviews, and studies focused on pathological mechanisms and diagnostic innovations. Contributions should highlight recent advancements, critical reviews of existing practices, and potential pathways for implementing new diagnostic measures. This issue aims to compile a variety of perspectives and cutting-edge research to better understand and respond to the intricate challenges of infectious diseases in wildlife populations.
Keywords:
Wildlife diseases, Emerging infectious diseases, Surveillance, Disease control, Wildlife conservation, Zoonotic diseases, Epidemiology, Environmental monitoring
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.
