Veterinary Immunology And Immunopathology

The journal reports basic, comparative and clinical immunology as they pertain to the animal species designated here: livestock, poultry, and fish species that are major food animals and companion animals such as cats, dogs, horses and camels, and wildlife species that act as reservoirs for food, companion or human infectious diseases, or as models for human disease.

Rodent models of infectious diseases that are of importance in the animal species indicated above,when the disease requires a level of containment that is not readily available for larger animal experimentation (ABSL3), will be considered. Papers on rabbits, lizards, guinea pigs, badgers, armadillos, elephants, antelope, and buffalo will be reviewed if the research advances our fundamental understanding of immunology, or if they act as a reservoir of infectious disease for the primary animal species designated above, or for humans. Manuscripts employing other species will be reviewed if justified as fitting into the categories above.

The following topics are appropriate: biology of cells and mechanisms of the immune system, immunochemistry, immunodeficiencies, immunodiagnosis, immunogenetics, immunopathology, immunology of infectious disease and tumors, immunoprophylaxis including vaccine development and delivery, immunological aspects of pregnancy including passive immunity, autoimmuity, neuroimmunology, and transplanatation immunology. Manuscripts that describe new genes and development of tools such as monoclonal antibodies are also of interest when part of a larger biological study. Studies employing extracts or constituents (plant extracts, feed additives or microbiome) must be sufficiently defined to be reproduced in other laboratories and also provide evidence for possible mechanisms and not simply show an effect on the immune system.

本期刊报道与此处指定的动物物种相关的基础、比较和临床免疫学：作为主要食用动物和伴侣动物的牲畜、家禽和鱼类物种，例如猫、狗、马和骆驼，以及作为食物、伴侣或人类传染病的储存器或作为人类疾病模型的野生动物物种。

当疾病需要的遏制水平无法用于大型动物实验（ABSL3）时，将考虑对上述动物物种具有重要意义的啮齿动物传染病模型。如果研究推进了我们对免疫学的基本理解，或者如果它们作为上述主要动物物种或人类的传染病储存器，我们将审查关于兔子、蜥蜴、豚鼠、獾、犰狳、大象、羚羊和水牛的论文。如果证明其他物种的稿件符合上述类别，我们将对其进行审查。

以下主题是合适的：细胞生物学和免疫系统机制、免疫化学、免疫缺陷、免疫诊断、免疫遗传学、免疫病理学、传染病和肿瘤的免疫学、免疫预防（包括疫苗开发和递送）、妊娠的免疫学方面（包括被动免疫）、自身免疫、神经免疫学和移植免疫学。描述新基因和单克隆抗体等工具开发的稿件作为大型生物学研究的一部分也会引起人们的兴趣。使用提取物或成分（植物提取物、饲料添加剂或微生物组）的研究必须得到充分定义，以便在其他实验室中重现，并为可能的机制提供证据，而不仅仅是显示对免疫系统的影响。
