Veterinary Mycology: Fungal Infections in Livestock and Companion Animals
Abstract: Fungal infections represent a significant yet often underestimated challenge in veterinary medicine, affecting both livestock and companion animals. Veterinary mycology encompasses a diverse group of pathogens, including yeasts, molds, dimorphic fungi, and dermatophytes, that can cause localized or systemic diseases with substantial health, economic, and zoonotic implications. In livestock species, such as cattle, sheep, goats, poultry, pigs, horses, and camels, fungal infections manifest as dermatophytosis, mycotic mastitis, aspergillosis, keratomycosis, and …

Veterinary Immunology in Zoonotic Disease Control
Abstract: Zoonotic diseases, which are transmissible between animals and humans, pose a significant threat to global public health, food security, and economic stability. Veterinary immunology plays a pivotal role in understanding host–pathogen interactions, developing preventive strategies, and mitigating the impact of these diseases. Animals serve as reservoirs for a variety of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi, which can persist asymptomatically or cause clinical disease. Understanding the immune mechanisms in both …
