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.
