Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The One Health approach focus mainly on the relationship between humans and livestock or wildlife animals involved in several zoonotic disease pandemics and emerging infectious diseases. The role of companion animals, both traditional and non-traditional, is definitely less covered by One Health reports. However, companion animals often spend their life indoors in very close physical contact with their owners and there are a number of zoonotic infectious diseases that may be transmitted directly or indirectly from these animals. Moreover, beyond the zoonotic agents, pet exposure is an exogenous factor which can undoubtedly affect the human microbiota and human health. Therefore, it is certainly interesting also to further investigate the sharing of microbiota between traditional and non-traditional pets and humans.
According with the scope of the journal, the Special Issue aims to collect original research articles and reviews on the microbiology in traditional and non-traditional companion animals, with a preference for articles focused on the microbial interactions between animal and human hosts.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
