Overview

Infectious diseases in animals are illnesses caused by pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, that infect animals and can spread between them and, in the case of zoonoses, to humans. They affect domestic livestock, companion animals, and wildlife, and encompass respiratory, gastrointestinal, reproductive, skin, and systemic infections. These diseases are a central concern of veterinary medicine because of their impact on animal welfare, agricultural productivity, food safety, and public health, and their control depends on accurate diagnosis, vaccination, biosecurity, surveillance, and treatment. Many animal infections, such as brucellosis, tuberculosis, and influenza, have zoonotic potential, making veterinary and human health closely intertwined under a One Health framework. Research published in Veterinary Healthcare addresses a range of these conditions; work in the journal's record includes serological evidence of influenza A virus infection in South American camelids, studies of camel brucellosis seroprevalence in Ethiopia, the effect of coinfection on bovine tuberculosis immunodiagnosis, Chagas disease in dogs, and the examination of ovine fasciolosis in sheep. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to infectious diseases in animals and their diagnosis, transmission, and control.
