Abstract

The motivation behind hosting and maintaining this Research Topic is the interest in the roles of host non-coding RNAs in infectious and zoonotic diseases, which we believe is underappreciated in veterinary medicine, at least relatively to its counterpart in humans. The latter is fueled by the evolving role of these molecules in human cancer research (1). The aim of this topic is not only to draw scientific attention to the involvement of coding RNAs (i.e., mRNAs) in veterinary infectious diseases but also to portray their intricate relations with non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs), which feature multiple species such as microRNAs (miRNAs), small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs), small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs), and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), in addition to long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Aspects such as their regulation in animal infection with various pathogens, their biomarker potential, and their biogenesis were and will continue to be covered here. After almost 2 years of publishing this topic within the remit of Frontiers in Veterinary Sciences, we are continuing at a steady and successful pace to attain our anticipated impact. With six articles being published, the topic has witnessed a big leap in article views, from 2,354 views at its launch in 2021 to around 13,000 views in July 2023. These numbers, along with other statistics shown on the topic website, already mirror the uniqueness of this field and calls for further in-depth exploration.
