The growing understanding of the intricate connections between human, animal, and environmental health highlights the critical need for a One Health approach in addressing emerging and re-emerging respiratory viral infections. Zoonotic viruses such as influenza, SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), and other coronaviruses, as well as common respiratory pathogens like respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), and adenoviruses, continue to pose significant public health and veterinary challenges worldwide.

We invite submissions of original research articles, reviews, and case studies that explore various One Health dimensions of acute respiratory virus infections affecting humans and animals. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to- Zoonotic transmission and interspecies spread, Epidemiology and surveillance, Pathogenesis and immune responses, Diagnostic advancements, Prevention and control strategies, Environmental and ecological factors, and Public health and veterinary collaboration.

All submissions in this collection undergo the journal’s standard peer review process. Similarly, all manuscripts authored by a Guest Editor(s) will be handled by the Editor-in-Chief. As an open access publication, this journal levies an article processing fee (details here). We recognize that many key stakeholders may not have access to such resources and are committed to supporting participation in this issue wherever resources are a barrier. For more information about what support may be available, please visit OA funding and support, or email OAfundingpolicy@springernature.com or the Editor-in-Chief.
