Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Parasites are a group of eukaryotic pathogens that includes protozoa, helminths and arthropods, which develop over a partial or a complete life cycle in their host organisms. Parasites infect hundreds of millions of people and animals, and lead to significant mortality, in addition to causing devastating social and economic consequences, especially in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide. In this topic, we aim to collect manuscripts focusing on the epidemiology of parasitic diseases in husbandry animals together with the relevant antiparasitic treatment strategies.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Areas of interest could include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Epidemiology of parasitic diseases in husbandry animals.
- Novel methods and strategies for the early detection of parasites.
- Pathogenic characteristics and metabolic mechanism of parasites.
- Novel agents for parasite treatment.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
