Food and Environmental Virology

Food and Environmental Virology is a quarterly journal published by Springer since 2009 and the official journal of the International Society for Food and Environmental Virology, given to viruses that travel through water, air, soil and food, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 2.4.《食品与环境病毒学》是 Springer 自 2009 年起出版的季刊，也是国际食品与环境病毒学学会（International Society for Food and Environmental Virology）的官方会刊，关注经水、空气、土壤与食品传播的病毒，2025 年期刊影响因子为 2.4。

Scope

• The stated remit takes in every aspect of how pathogenic viruses pass through the environment, meaning water, air and soil, and through foods, from outbreak investigation to industrial control.刊物申明的范围覆盖病毒经环境与食品传播的各个方面，环境指水体、空气与土壤，食品另列，从疫情调查一直延伸到工业控制。

• Original articles, short notes and review articles all find a place, and reviews run long when a subject calls for it, some of them past twenty pages.原创论文、短篇简报与综述文章都有位置，题目需要时综述可以写得很长，个别篇目超过二十页。

• Human, animal and plant viruses all sit inside the scope, provided the route is environmental or food-borne rather than direct person-to-person contact.人、动物与植物病毒都在范围内，前提是传播途径为环境或食品，而非人际直接接触。

• Current and Emerging Issues, the first of four thematic blocks on the journal page, gathers outbreak descriptions, epidemiology and work that pins down transmission routes.当前与新兴问题是刊页列出的四个主题板块之首，汇集疫情描述与流行病学研究，也收梳理传播途径的论文。

• The same block reaches beyond enteric viruses to environmental transmission of respiratory and other non-enteric agents, and to novel or emerging viruses, zoonotic ones included.同一板块越过肠道病毒，收呼吸道病毒等非肠道病原的环境传播研究，也收新发与新型病毒，人畜共患病毒包括在内。

• Viruses in water treatment plants form a topic of their own, sitting next to surveillance work in rivers, lakes and groundwater.水处理厂中的病毒单列一个方向，与河流、湖泊与地下水中的监测研究并列。

• Analytical Methods covers detection in water, in food and in air, three matrices that demand different concentration steps before an assay can start.分析方法板块覆盖水体、食品与空气中的检测，三种基质在测定之前需要不同的浓缩步骤。

• New sample treatments sit beside validation studies and application papers, the last reporting how often a virus turns up in a given food or water source, a question that produced a twenty-seven-page review of concentration and recovery methods in 2012.新的样品前处理与验证研究并列，应用类论文另成一类，报告病毒在特定食品或水源中的检出频率，2012 年一篇浓缩与回收方法的综述写了二十七页。^[1]

• Data Analysis gathers new quantification systems, risk assessment and modular process risk models, the last breaking a production chain into steps whose risk can be estimated one at a time.数据分析板块汇集新的定量体系与风险评估，模块化过程风险模型也在其中，这类模型把生产链拆成单个环节，逐段估算风险。

• Control of viruses opens with structural stability and survival, asking how long an infectious particle lasts on a surface, in soil or in chilled food.病毒控制板块从结构稳定性与存活能力起笔，追问感染性颗粒在物体表面、土壤或冷藏食品中能维持多久。

• Transport through soils belongs here as well, together with elimination procedures and evaluations of current or novel industrial disinfection processes.病毒在土壤中的迁移同属这一板块，清除程序与现行及新型工业消毒工艺的评价也在其列。

• Procedural controls such as HACCP plans close the list, and personal protective measures, hand hygiene and antisepsis among them, are named in the same breath.HACCP 计划一类的程序性控制收束这份清单，个人防护措施也在范围内，手部卫生与消毒被一并列出。

• Recent issues show the range in practice, with multi-virus surveillance of freshwater systems in Tehran and a year of surface-water monitoring after the 2024 floods in Porto Alegre.近期各期能看出实际覆盖面，德黑兰（Tehran）淡水系统的多病毒监测在列，2024 年洪水过后阿雷格里港（Porto Alegre）为期一年的地表水监测也出现过。
