Veterinary Parasitology
Veterinary Parasitology is a hybrid journal offering both subscription-based and open access publication. An international scientific journal and the Official Organ of the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists (AAVP), the European Veterinary Parasitology College (EVPC) and the World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology (WAAVP)Veterinary Parasitology is concerned with those aspects of helminthology, protozoology and arachno-entomology which are of interest to animal health investigators, veterinary practitioners and others with a special interest in parasitology. Papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites in all domesticated animals, fall within the scope of the journal.Hosts that will be considered: Domesticated animals include farmed or companion mammals, farmed or pet birds, wild game animals kept for commercial reasons, farmed insects (e.g. bees) and farmed marine and freshwater fish. Contributions relating to parasites and parasitic disease of other animals, including species kept in zoological gardens, will only be considered upon the Editors’ discretion if they are of interest to a broader readership.Studies on natural infections of experimental animals are within the scope of the journal, while parasitological studies laboratory animal models only fall within the scope of Veterinary Parasitology if they provide a reasonably close model of parasitic infection or disease of domestic animals.The journal will consider papers relating to wildlife species where they may act as parasite reservoirs for domestic animals or humans. In these cases, the actual transmission needs to be demonstrated. Parasitic organisms that will be considered: Endo- and ectoparasites of the host species investigated. Among the arthropods, parasites senso latu (i.e. organisms that spend prolonged times on the host for feeding and/or mating and reproduction and can cause clinically relevant alterations) such as mange and other parasitic mites, ticks, nuisance insects and flies as causes of obligate or facultative myiasis fall within the journal scope. Insects such as culicids (mosquitoes) or ceratopogonids (midges) are considered as vectors only in conjunction with the parasites they transmit to domesticated animals, and will only be considered when the submitted manuscript includes data on the transmitted parasites. Zoonotic parasites will only be considered if transmission from domesticated animals or wildlife to humans is included.Manuscripts dealing with organisms that do not fall into these categories are generally not accepted. However, in rare cases, eukaryotic organisms described as pathogens for domesticated animals can be considered at the Editors’ discretion.Manuscrip... dealing exclusively with the taxonomy of parasites (i.e. first or re-descriptions of species or a taxonomic group, irrespective of the method applied) do not fall within the scope of the journal.Descriptions of genomes (nuclear, mitochondrial, or both) or transcriptomic/prote... data will only be accepted for parasite species listed above, and only if they include phenotypic or functional investigations. Functional studies on parasites or hosts not included here, e.g. knockout studies in rodent or invertebrate models, will only be accepted if the model function for parasites of domesticated animals is clearly demonstrated.Case studies are rarely considered and need to be unique or of specific interest to the journal.Manuscripts of geographically limited (local) interest which are deemed not of interest to an international audience will not be accepted. Authors who submit papers based on local data will need to indicate in the Cover Letter why their manuscript is relevant to a broader readership. Otherwise they can submit to the journal’s companion title, Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, which welcomes manuscripts with a regional focus.Studies on vector-borne bacterial disease organisms (Neoehrlichia, Anaplasma, Borrelia….) will be considered for publication in Veterinary Parasitology only if the paper deals with the vector transmission of these organisms to domesticated animals and includes data on both vector(s) and host(s), or if zoonotic. Studies on bacteria per se will not be accepted.Studies dealing with parasite control by means of plant extracts, prebiotics, probiotics, paraprobiotics, fungi, micro-organisms or other derived products both in vivo and in vitro, fall within the scope of the journal, but only if well documented (including analytical data on the composition of the products) and with therapeutically relevant inhibitory concentrations of purified and identified active compound(s) being clearly demonstrated. Effects must be demonstrated against relevant parasite life stages.- ISSN: 0304-4017

Small Ruminant Research
Small Ruminant Research is focused on articles regarding small ruminants and is the official journal of the International Goat Association.Small Ruminant Research aims to publish original, basic and applied research articles. It publishes articles on goats, sheep, deer, and New and Old World camelids.The journal publishes topics including:• Nutrition • Physiology, • Genetics, • Microbiology, • Anatomy if associated with new research on function or production, • Ethology, • Product technology and consumer health effects, • Socio-economics, • Management, sustainability and environment, • Veterinary Medicine, • Husbandry Engineering.The primary focus of the journal is on domesticated small ruminants and camelids, but contributions on non-domesticated small ruminants and camelids may be considered if these have a clear direct or indirect relevance to farmed small ruminants and camelids.Further notes on editorial priority:Small Ruminant Research will consider studies on polymorphisms if they report novel findings and have direct relevance to those species described in the aims and scope of this journal. Manuscripts can include investigations into variation on different levels (e.g. genes, proteins, transcriptomes etc.). Associations studies involving single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), should link them strongly and experimentally to production traits. Associations of a single genetic variant with a single trait within one population without support of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) will normally not be considered for publication. Genetic diversity studies are welcome, but should include more than one or a few breeds with only local importance. Reports on allelic / genotypic frequencies or gene sequences that are not accompanied by novel genetic findings will not be considered. Manuscripts with quantitative RT-PCR without multiple normalizer gene products will be declined at preliminary review.Morphometric studies are not in our scope unless they are explicitly related with a production trait of small ruminants. Papers on the use of feeds in nutrition are publishable only if these feeds have more than local importance, which should be detailed in the introduction. In many studies of nutrition, the effect on animal performance of substituting a feed with another is investigated and the hypothesis is that no effect is anticipated. We recommend a power analysis to determine sample size before planning the study. If authors want to report that they have discovered no difference they should add confidence limits to the difference between the sample means: if the sample size is indeed too small, these limits will usually be too broad to be informative. If the authors' aim is to show no effect, then the usual rule for bioequivalence is that the 90%CI for the ratio between the two means needs to lie between 0.8 and 1.25. Authors need to clearly state the experimental unit and degrees of freedom for the error term. With nutrition papers involving feeding animals in paddocks or pens with more than one animal, it is the number of paddocks or pens which determines the experimental units, not the number of animals in total, unless it is demonstrated that each animal takes independent foraging decisions. Manuscripts that deal with the effects of plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) or plant extracts using in-vitro methods only are not published, unless if associated to a large-scale, long-term in vivo study. In studies with PSMs or plant extracts, advanced chemical analysis of the extracts should be documented. In vitro studies of the nutritional value of feeds are not in our scope unless they provide a background for in vivo studies in the same manuscript. Studies of the quality of semen, oocytes, embryos, following exposure to various materials (plant extracts, anti-oxidants, fatty acids and diluents) will be considered only if they are associated with in vivo experimental evidence in the same submission.  Studies on estrus synchronization protocols will be considered only if the protocol used is new and supported by hormonal analysis or other biochemical measurements. Estrous or anestrous period of the animals used, must be verified by hormonal analysis. Adapting protocols to new breed of animals has local importance but is not considered a novelty.In the field of health, case reports presenting work in individual animals will not be considered. Only case reports presenting population medicine approaches will be considered for further evaluation on the condition that they have wide implications, well beyond their local interest, and good statistical evidence. Studies examining the prevalence of disease are not in our scope, unless their implications are of interest to the international readership of Small Ruminant Research. Submissions must describe in detail how the presented information will enhance the management of small ruminants nationally or internationally. For products, we will consider studies on carcasses but not on the further processing of meat products for human food. Studies on the textile processing of fibres are also excluded. Studies on the manufacture of "milk products" as mixtures of milk components or fractionated milk with non-milk ingredients will not be considered for publication. Papers on production systems will be considered only if their results can be connected to concepts and knowledge published elsewhere and/or extend them to scale up in genericity. Therefore, descriptive papers on production systems and local projects without connection to global development issues will generally not be considered. Special attention is given to the quality of methodological approaches and bibliographical references.The section of Integrative Genomics, Transcriptomics and Multi-Omics accepts original research applying genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, and integrative multi-omics approaches to advance understanding of biological systems in small ruminants. It includes both basic and applied studies using high-throughput and systems biology approaches to investigate traits such as feed efficiency, product quality, growth, reproduction, health, adaptation to environmental and nutritional challenges, and sustainability. Studies should link molecular findings to phenotypic or production outcomes, providing clear biological relevance; purely descriptive studies without functional or experimental context will normally not be considered. Submissions integrating multiple omics layers, discovering novel biomarkers, or developing analytical frameworks are particularly encouraged. Manuscripts must employ robust experimental design, adequate replication, appropriate statistical and bioinformatic analyses, and transparent reporting. Deposition of data in publicly accessible repositories is recommended to ensure reproducibility.- ISSN: 0921-4488

According to the ICMJE, a clinical trial is defined as "any research project that prospectively assigns people or a group of people to an intervention, with or without concurrent comparison or control groups, to study the cause-and-effect relationship between a health-related intervention and a health outcome. Health-related interventions are those used to modify a biomedical or health-related outcome; examples include drugs, surgical procedures, devices, behavioral treatments, educational programs, dietary interventions, quality improvement interventions, and process-of-care changes. Health outcomes are any biomedical or health-related measures obtained in patients or participants." See www.icmje.org/about-... for a list of acceptable ICMJE clinical trial registries. Secondary data analyses of primary (parent) clinical trials should not be registered as separate clinical trials, but instead reference the trial registration number of the primary trial in the manuscript text. Please report the trial registration number (TRN) and the website where the clinical trial is registered on the author page when submitting an article. In addition, the TRN should be included in the methods section of the manuscript.- ISSN: 2212-2672
