Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Brucellosis is a bacterial zoonotic disease that causes abortions in ruminants. Together with many other bacterial, viral and parasitic agents that cause abortive diseases, they are the main concerns of the livestock sector and are responsible for great economic losses in the world economy. This is an important area in Veterinary Medicine that arouses special interest with multiple aspects to be elucidated.
I am pleased to invite you to contribute with your research from the different points of view of the life science such as biology, pharmacology, epidemiology, biochemistry, microbiology and genetics, with the aim of providing tools for a better understanding of abortive diseases and pathogens, and contributing to their control in ruminants.
In this Special Issue, original research articles, short communications and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) virulent factors and mechanisms of action, immunology studies revealing innate or acquired protection, novel diagnostic techniques, classical or alternative compounds to prevent or treat abortive diseases in different ruminant species, identification of new protective antigens, models for the study of the host:pathogen interaction and epidemiological studies, risk factors and economic impact. I look forward to your contribution.
Dr. Carlos A. Rossetti
Guest Editor
