Bacteria and Infectious Diseases in Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences

Bacteria and infectious diseases are phenomena that have a plethora of effects on society. Not only are they harmful to the health of livestock and other animals, such bacteria and disease can spread and infect humans, as well as negate food production and supply. It is therefore highly important to further understand bacteria and disease hosts’, their diagnosis and potential treatments to reduce and/or prevent the life-threatening consequences of their spread. Herein, the focus of this collection will be concerned majorly with the agricultural and veterinary aspects, rather than humans. 

This collection aims to provide Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe beneficiaries with a space to openly publish

This collection includes research within the broad area of bacteria and infectious diseases to prevent disastrous spreading and further consequences to animals, farms and food. Its scope includes but is not limited to:

• Bacteria identification and disease diagnosis in animals
• Antibiotic use as treatment of diseases in animals
• Effects of bacteria and infectious diseases on food produce and supply
• Technological advances and measures to protect farms from widespread diseases
