Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is the continuation of our previous Special Issue, entitled “Emerging Viral Zoonoses” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/microorganisms/special_issues/YGA70Y47JO)

Under the strategic framework of the ‘’One World–One Health’’ concept, viral zoonoses are investigated in an interdisciplinary manner by medical scientists, veterinarians, and environmental specialists (encapsulating all sides of the animal–human–ecosystems interface). Emerging viral zoonoses represent a public health problem worldwide, and this Special Issue aims to present recent research on the clinical aspects, prevention, treatment, and molecular epidemiology of emerging viruses of zoonotic importance.

Some of this Special Issue’s focal points include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. Viruses of zoonotic importance (for example, tick-borne encephalitis virus; West Nile virus; Usutu virus; Toscana virus; dengue virus; Sandfly fever Sicilian virus; Sandfly fever Naples virus; Tahyna virus; Bhanja virus; Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus; Puumala virus; Dobrava virus; Saaremaa virus; Tula virus; Hepatitis E virus; rabies virus);
  2. Serological evidence and the molecular analysis of zoonotic viruses (general population, domestic and wild animals, and the environment);
  3. Clinical characteristics, prevention, and treatment.

In summer 2023, during an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in cats in Poland, a 16-year-old dog was presented to the veterinary clinic with persistent, debilitating, dry cough, submandibular lymphadenomegaly, mild serous nasal discharge, and left apical heart murmur.

In summer 2023, during an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in cats in Poland, a 16-year-old dog was presented to the veterinary clinic with persistent, debilitating, dry cough, submandibular lymphadenomegaly, mild serous nasal discharge, and left apical heart murmur. A preliminary diagnosis of kennel cough was made and the treatment with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and dexamethasone was initiated. Due to the lack of improvement within 2 days, a blood check-up, thoracic radiography and ultrasonography, and echocardiography were performed. Moreover, a rapid test for orthomyxovirus type A antigen in a throat swab was carried out and proved positive. The result was verified using RT-qPCR, which yielded a positive result for A/H5N1 influenza virus and negative results for A/H1N1, A/H3N2, type B influenza, and SARS-CoV-2. This case indicates that HPAI should be considered as a differential diagnosis not only in cats, but also in dogs with upper respiratory tract disease, particularly in regions experiencing A/H5N1 avian influenza outbreaks.
