Microbial Risk Analysis

Microbial Risk Analysis considers articles dealing with the study of risk analysis applied to microbial hazards. Manuscripts must cover at least one of the components of risk assessment (risk characterization, exposure assessment, etc.), risk management and/or risk communication in any microbiology field (clinical, environmental, food, veterinary, etc.). The journal also considers articles in the following areas (as long as they integrate some aspect of microbial risk analysis):

• Predictive microbiology

• Vector-borne disease risks

• Risk related to epizootic studies of emerging diseases and plant diseases

• Quantitative microbial ecology

• Mathematical modeling

• Risk studies applied to microbial ecology

• Quantitative microbiology for epidemiological studies

• Statistical methods applied to microbiology

• Systematic reviews and meta-analysis to generate information

• Evidence and data that can be used in microbial risk assessment

• Laws and regulatory policies aimed at lessening the risk of microbial hazards.

• Risk studies of viruses, parasites, microbial toxins, antimicrobial resistant organisms, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and recombinant DNA products.
