Veterinary Research

Aims and Scope

Veterinary Research is an open access journal that publishes high-quality and novel research and review articles focusing on all aspects of infectious diseases and host-pathogen interactions in animals.

The journal covers studies involving:

Farmed animals, including equines, and companion animals
Wild animals, when infections are of zoonotic interest and/or related to domestic animals
Laboratory animals and animal models of human infectious diseases

Particular attention is given to zoonotic, emerging, and re-emerging pathogens.

Manuscripts based on in vitro, ex vivo, or organoid models that mimic living tissue and disease processes are also welcome.

Reviewer acknowledgements

A peer-reviewed journal would not survive without the generous time and insightful comments of the reviewers, whose efforts often go unrecognized. Although final decisions are always editorial, they are greatly facilitated by the deeper technical knowledge, scientific insights, understanding of social consequences, and passion that reviewers bring to our deliberations. For these reasons, the Editors and staff of Veterinary Research would like to publicly acknowledge our peer reviewers.
