Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The One Health approach ensures that human, animal, and environmental microbiological questions are evaluated in an integrated manner so as to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the problem of pathogen transmission and resistance. This concept is not only relevant for human and veterinary medicine, but also for all scientific health-related disciplines. We can definitively consider that this approach can accelerate synergistic and efficient actions.
Because numerous protozoal (Leishmaniasis, Trypanosomiasis, etc.) and helminthic (Schistosomiasis, Fascioliasis, etc.) diseases are zoonotic or vector-borne, parasites are obviously excellent models for the One Health approach. When it comes to the field of mycology (Aspergillus, Cryptococcus, Dermatophytes, Fusarium, etc.), researchers must still investigate this multidisciplinary initiative as recently described for azole-environmental resistance. Human and veterinary diseases remain topics where the multidisciplinary effort experience must be shared with all researchers.
In this Special Issue of Microorganisms dedicated to the One Health approach to fungal and parasitic diseases, we invite you to send your research articles dedicated exclusively on fundamental data concerning microorganisms implicated in human and animal mycology and in parasitic diseases from a One Health angle. Antimicrobial resistance and therapeutic aspects of the diseases are also welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Microorganisms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs).
