It is indeed our great pleasure to have the inaugural issue of the Animal Diseases journal published. Animal diseases not only cause enormous economic losses (more than 20%) to the animal farming industry, but also possess serious threats to human health as more than 60% human infectious diseases originate in animals. Therefore, it is absolutely imperative to increase research on all aspects of animal diseases as well as to develop novel drugs, vaccines, diagnostic methods and technologies to combat these diseases.
It is our goal to launch Animal Diseases for publishing the highest quality manuscripts in the field, including the latest state-of-the-art articles from academia, government laboratories and industry experts. Animal Diseases is open access, with rapid peer review, making findings immediately available to all readers worldwide. The journal publishes original research, reviews and other types of communication in all areas of animal diseases, infectious or non-infectious.
We have assembled a team of experts in the field of animal diseases from all over the world as editorial members. We earnestly invite all of our colleagues in the field of animal diseases to actively submit your manuscripts to this journal, making contributions to animal warfare and health, food safety, and public health.
