Veterinary Microbiology

Veterinary Microbiology is concerned with microbial (bacterial, fungal, viral) diseases of domesticated vertebrate 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, 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 Papers focusing solely on diagnostic techniques (such as another PCR protocol or ELISA) will not be published - focus should be on a microorganism and not on a particular technique.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, transcriptomics data, or proteomics data will not be considered unless the results represent a substantial advance in knowledge.

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 Case reports will not be published, unless they have general application or contain novel aspects.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.

兽医微生物学研究的是家养脊椎动物（家畜、伴侣动物、毛皮动物、野味、家禽、鱼类）的微生物（细菌、真菌、病毒）疾病，这些动物提供食物、其他有用产品或陪伴。此外，如果感染与人类（人畜共患病）和/或家畜有相互关系，则圈养野生动物或野生动物群成员的微生物疾病也会被考虑。抗生素耐药性研究也包括在内，前提是研究结果代表了知识的重大进步。强烈建议作者在提交之前阅读该期刊上先前发表的社论（“范围或应对”和“范围或应对 II”）。编辑保留建议将他们认为更适合该期刊审议的论文提交给其他期刊的权利。

发表关于动物微生物疾病的控制、宿主反应、分子生物学、发病机制、预防和治疗方面的高质量和新颖的原创研究论文。主要涉及免疫学、流行病学、分子生物学和抗病毒或微生物剂的论文只有在证明对疾病有明显影响时才会被考虑。仅关注诊断技术（例如另一种 PCR 方案或 ELISA）的论文将不予发表 - 重点应放在微生物上，而不是特定技术上。仅报告微生物序列、转录组学数据或蛋白质组学数据的论文将不予考虑，除非结果代表知识的重大进步。

如果药物试验论文具有普遍应用或意义，则会考虑它们。关于微生物鉴定的论文也会被考虑，但详细的分类学研究不属于该期刊的范围。病例报告将不予发表，除非它们具有普遍应用或包含新颖的方面。地理范围有限的论文，重复其他地方已确定的内容将不予考虑。该期刊的读者遍布全球。

该刊已被国际权威数据库SCI、SCIE收录，该刊致力于发表经过严格同行评审的高质量原创文章，反映农林科学-兽医学领域的新进展、新技术、新成果，促进该领域科研交流和科研成果转化。该刊2026年影响因子为2.8，平均审稿速度为约3月，近四年来没有被列入预警名单。如果您需要投稿发表服务及指导，可以联系我们的客服老师，我们专业专注服务期刊投稿协助10年，为您提供期刊投稿个性化定制服务，并且我们确保严格保密您的个人信息及稿件内容。
