Description
Veterinary Research publishes high quality and novelty papers focussing on Animal Infection and Epidemiology. The fields of study are bacteriology, parasitology, virology, immunology and epidemiology. Food animals, companion animals, equines, wild animals (if the infections are of zoonotic interest and/or in relation with domestic animals), laboratory animals and animal models of human infections are considered. Studies on zoonotic and emerging infections are highly appreciated. The journal publishes original and review articles on: -
New knowledge on pathogens (viruses, bacteria, protozoa, helminths, fungi and prions) and on host-pathogen interactions. Papers elucidating molecular mechanisms of interactions between hosts and microbes are highly appreciated. -
Immunity to pathogenic micro-organisms: systemic and mucosal immunology of infected organisms. This encompasses fundamental studies on immune system of animals. The development and evaluation of new vaccines against pathogens will be considered. -
Epidemiology related to infections. Controlled comparative studies (randomised field trials and analytical observational studies), studies developing or applying new epidemiological methods will be preferred rather than descriptive studies. Papers dealing with mathematical modelling, risk assessment or interactions between epidemiology and other fields of research will be favoured. Papers must be of general interest and have a general applicability.
Specific aspects of treatment of diseases, pathological and clinical studies (including case reports), diagnosis tests and technical reports do not fall within the scope of the journal. Studies that are preliminary, of weak originality, as well as negative results, are not appropriate to the journal. Merely descriptive and correlative studies are not a priority. Papers must make an original and significant contribution to the field. Studies that are technically sound but do not make a significant advance in the knowledge of animal infections will not be accepted. Papers providing information of geographically limited interest or which repeat what has been established elsewhere will not be considered.
