  • Theriogenology

    • ISSN: 0093-691X
    Theriogenology is a journal for researchers, practitioners, clinicians, and industry professionals.Therio... aims to cover animal reproductive physiology, management and biotechnologies. It mainly publishes research articles and may only accept unsolicited reviews if they are on cutting edge fields and are prepared by teams with outstanding expertise on the relevant subjects.Species of interest for the journal include:• Farm animals (cattle, swine, small ruminants) • Companion animals (horses, dogs, cats) • Farmed poultry and farmed fish. Please note that papers dealing with wildlife are not eligible for submission to “Theriogenology” and should rather be directed towards “Theriogenology Wild”.Theriogenology does not accept submissions reporting studies conducted in invertebrates or humans. Furthermore, toxicological studies run in animals to document risks/effects in humans of drugs, plant extracts and environmental pollutants are also outside the scope of Theriogenology.For all studies on sperm quality, please refer to the journal-specific Instructions to Authors.

  • Comparative Immunology, Microbiology & Infectious Diseases

    • ISSN: 0147-9571
    An International Journal focused on Comparative Veterinary and Medical ResearchComparative Immunology, Microbiology & Infectious Diseases aims to respond to the concept of "One Medicine - One Health" and to provide a venue for scientific exchange. Based on the concept of "Comparative Medicine" interdisciplinary cooperation between specialists in human and animal medicine is of mutual interest and benefit. Therefore, there is need to combine the respective interest of physicians, veterinarians and other health professionals for comparative studies relevant to either human or animal medicine .CIMID is mainly focusing on applied veterinary medicine with a particular focus on zoonotic pathogens. It includes etiology, biology, clinical diseases, epidemiology, diagnosis, control. Experimental in vitro studies and studies on laboratory animals are generally not accepted. Non infectious diseases are not accepted. Specific focus on human diseases can only be accepted if it concerns major zoonotic pathogens. Reviews are generally not accepted, except if they contain new or recent developments. CIMID does not accept manuscript focusing on Mycology.The journal is open to subjects of common interest related to the immunology, immunopathology, microbiology, parasitology and epidemiology of human and animal infectious diseases, especially zoonotic infections, and animal models of human infectious diseases. The role of environmental factors in disease emergence is emphasized. CIMID is mainly focusing on applied veterinary and human medicine rather than on fundamental experimental research.Original research papers of high quality and novelty on aspects of host response, molecular biology, pathogenesis, control and prevention and treatment of microbial and parasitic diseases of domestic animals and wildlife (if the infections are of zoonotic interest and/or in relation with domestic animals and/or can serve as a model for human diseases). Papers dealing primarily with epidemiology will be considered if they demonstrate a clear impact on the clinical features, pathogenesis or prevention of a disease. Similarly, articles addressing microbiology, parasitology, immunology or pathogenesis must address issues of comparative medical interest. Manuscripts focusing on probiotics or diseases and/or immunology of fishes are not part of our overall scope, as they are better fitted to more specialized journals. Manuscripts dealing with food hygiene and food risk are not part of our overall scope. Manuscripts dealing strictly with experimental design and fundamental research may not be considered depending the overall consequences for the knowledge of a disease.Review articles can be accepted. They should focus either on a pathogen or on analyses of the mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions including epidemiological studies. Proposal for such manuscripts should be submitted to the Co-Editors in Chief for approval before submitting the manuscript.Papers focusing solely on diagnostic techniques, case reports or drug trials will generally not be accepted. Papers of geographically limited interest, which repeat what had been established elsewhere, will not be considered. The readership of the journal is global. The Editors reserve the right to suggest submission to another journal for those papers which they feel would be more appropriate for consideration by that journal.Papers will be rejected if standards of care of, or procedures performed on animals are not beyond those expected of humane veterinary care. Standards must, at least, meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research involving Animals, as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences. (C.I.O.M.S., c/o WHO, CH 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland).Instruc... for Authors:Comparative Immunology, Microbiology & Infectious Diseases consists of six issues a year and publishes original papers or reviews of the status of current research relative to the different fields of Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases of animals with a possible impact on human health.Immunology: manuscripts are accepted relative to the various branches of this discipline: fundamental Immunology, experimental or comparative Immunology, clinical Immunology, Immunopathology.Micr... manuscripts are accepted relative to the various branches of this discipline: Virology, Bacteriology, Parasitology.Infecti...

  • Veterinary Microbiology

    • ISSN: 0378-1135
    Veterinary Microbiology is concerned with bacterial and viral diseases of domesticated vertebrate animals (livestock, companion animals, fur-bearing animals, game, poultry, but excluding fish) that supply food, other useful products or companionship. In addition, Microbial diseases of wild animals living in captivity, or as members of the feral fauna will also be considered if the infections are of interest because of their interrelation with humans (zoonoses) and/or domestic animals. Studies of antimicrobial resistance are also included, provided that the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge. Authors are strongly encouraged to read - prior to submission - the Editorials ('Scope or cope' and 'Scope or cope II') published previously in the journal. The Editors reserve the right to suggest submission to another journal for those papers which they feel would be more appropriate for consideration by that journal.Original research papers of high quality and novelty on aspects of control, host response, molecular biology, pathogenesis, prevention, and treatment of microbial diseases of animals are published. Papers dealing primarily with immunology, epidemiology, molecular biology and antiviral or microbial agents will only be considered if they demonstrate a clear impact on a disease. Papers focusing solely on diagnostic techniques (such as another PCR protocol or ELISA) will not be published - focus should be on a microorganism and not on a particular technique. Papers only reporting microbial sequences, metagenomics data, transcriptomics data, or proteomics data will not be considered unless the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge related to microbial disease.Drug trial papers will be considered if they have general application or significance. Papers on the identification of microorganisms will also be considered, but detailed taxonomic studies do not fall within the scope of the journal. Case reports will not be published, unless they have general application or contain novel aspects. Papers of geographically limited interest, which repeat what had been established elsewhere will not be considered. The readership of the journal is global.Papers will be rejected if standards of care of, or procedures performed on animals are not up to those expected of humane veterinary scientists. At a minimum, standards must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research involving Animals, as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences.

  • Journal of Comparative Pathology

    • ISSN: 0021-9975
    The Journal of Comparative Pathology is an English (UK) language, international, peer-reviewed journal that exists to publish articles reporting research and original scientific findings relevant to the pathology and pathogenesis of diseases of domesticated and other vertebrate animals. Articles on diseases of humans are also appropriate but only if they present features of special interest when viewed against the general background of vertebrate pathology. In addition, Journal of Comparative Pathology may publish Short Papers that are reports of small, completed investigations, new techniques or case descriptions. Please note, case reports of single animals will be accepted only if they make a highly significant contribution to knowledge and if this contribution is not clearly evident, they will be rejected at the desk stage. The journal also publishes, by invitation, full Review Articles and minireview Articles on topics of broad interest from authors with acknowledged expertise in their field.
