Veterinary medicine and infectious diseases
Veterinary medicine and infectious diseases is a research topic within Small Animals. Science Explorer counts 13k research works in it since 1950. 20.6% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on enteric diseases affecting animals and humans, including topics such as proliferative enteropathy, caused by Lawsonia intracellularis, intestinal spirochetosis associated with Brachyspira species, the use of pleuromutilin antibiotics for treatment, antimicrobial resistance in these pathogens, swine dysentery, zoonotic transmission risks, and diagnostic assays for these diseases. The research also covers the impact of these diseases on animal health and the potential for transmission to humans.
