Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is widely recognised as one of the major challenges facing society today, and it is now more important than ever to face this challenge with a One Health perspective. Wildlife can contribute to the emergence of AMR, as well as serve as AMR reservoirs and markers of AMR pollution. Furthermore, wildlife can act as vehicles of both local and long-distance AMR transmission, with the latter in particular being caused by migratory animals, birds, and sea living species.
We are therefore pleased to invite you to submit your research within this high priority area to this Special Issue, which aims to bring together and publish high-quality research on antimicrobial resistance related to wildlife. In this context, the term wildlife refers to all wild living species, both terrestrial and aquatic. Wild living plants may also be included. Original research articles, reviews, short reports, and comments are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: the description of resistant microorganisms and resistance genes in wildlife, their emergence, dissemination, persistence, and prevalence. Studies identifying drivers and risk factors are also wanted. Furthermore, comparisons of resistant microorganisms and resistance genes from humans and domestic animals are of interest. Effect studies on preventive or intervention measures will also be considered.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
