Veterinary Microbiology is concerned with microbial (bacterial, fungal, viral) diseases of
domesticated animals (livestock, companion animals, fur-bearing animals, game, poultry, 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.
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 or epidemiology will only be considered if they demonstrate a clear impact on the pathogenesis of a disease. The same applies
to papers on antiviral and antimicrobial agents. Papers focussing 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will not be published - focus should be on a microorganism and not on a particular technique.
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 Case reports will not be published, unless they have general application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. 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 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. (C.I.O.M.S., c/o WHO, CH 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland
