The field of adaptive immune responses in ruminants and humans is gaining increasing attention due to the complexities introduced by global integration, population mobility, and international trade. These factors, coupled with the frequent occurrence of public health events such as infectious diseases and foodborne illnesses, have underscored the need for a comprehensive approach to health, encapsulated in the ""one health"" concept. This approach has gained prominence, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. Ruminants, such as cattle and sheep, are integral to human society, providing essential products like meat and milk. However, they also pose potential risks for the transmission of pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses, between humans and animals. The resurgence of avian influenza H5N1, with its transmission from farms to humans, exemplifies these risks. Pathogenic microorganisms like E. coli and Bacillus cereus, which affect both humans and ruminants, highlight the need for a deeper understanding of adaptive immune responses. While significant research has been conducted on human adaptive immunity, there is a gap in knowledge regarding ruminant immune responses, which could offer valuable insights for both human and animal health.This research topic aims to explore the interconnectedness between humans, ruminants, and their environment through zoonosis studies and comparative medical research. The primary objective is to investigate the commonalities and distinctive characteristics of adaptive immune responses induced by infections in both humans and ruminants. By examining these responses, the research seeks to address complex health issues holistically, contributing to the broader ""one health"" initiative. Specific questions include understanding the transmission dynamics of infectious diseases between ruminants and humans, identifying trait markers associated with adaptive immune responses in ruminants, and exploring host-pathogen interactions, particularly focusing on T cell and B cell responses.To gather further insights into the adaptive immune responses of ruminants and humans in viral and bacterial infections, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:- Epidemiological studies investigating the transmission of infectious diseases between ruminant animals and humans.- Identification and characterization of trait markers associated with adaptive immune responses in ruminant species, providing insights into assessing human immunity.- The interactions between hosts and pathogenic microorganisms that have the ability to infect both humans and ruminants, with a particular focus on host T cell and B cell responses to these pathogens.
