Editorial: Zoonotic diseases: epidemiology, multi-omics, and host-pathogen interactions, volume II

Collectively, the studies in this Research Topic examined zoonotic pathogens across ecological, molecular, and immunological dimensions. By integrating epidemiology, genomics, transcriptomics, microbiome analysis, and mechanistic biology, these contributions advance the understanding of zoonotic disease emergence and host-pathogen interactions.The insights gained support the development of improved surveillance strategies, mechanistic models, and intervention tools. We thank all authors and reviewers for their contributions and hope this collection stimulates further interdisciplinary research to address the expanding challenges posed by zoonotic diseases.LD: Writing -original draft, Writing -review & editing.
