Scope

• The scope is built around infectious disease, with bacteriology, virology, parasitology, mycology and immunology as named subjects.宗旨围绕传染病搭建，细菌学，病毒学，寄生虫学，真菌学与免疫学都是点名题目。

• Pathology sits beside them, so diagnostic and post mortem work is inside the journal rather than sent to a separate title.病理学列在旁边，诊断与剖检工作因此在刊内，不必另投专门刊物。

• Public health gets its own line, which pulls zoonoses and food borne disease into a veterinary journal without argument.公共卫生单列一行，人畜共患病与食源性疾病因此顺理成章进了兽医刊物。

• Zoonotic and emerging infections are singled out as especially welcome, and that preference is stated on the about page.人畜共患与新兴感染被特意点出为特别欢迎，这条偏好写在介绍页上。

• Epidemiology is named, which keeps survey and outbreak work in the same place as laboratory studies.流行病学列名，调查与暴发研究因此与实验室研究同处一刊。

• Prion diseases have their own entry, and few veterinary journals of this size keep a line for them.朊病毒病单列一条，这个体量的兽医刊物很少为它留位置。

• Animal models of human infections appear as a subject, which is an unusual bridge between veterinary and medical research.人类感染的动物模型作为题目出现，这是兽医与医学研究之间少见的桥。

• Biotechnology and genetics are listed, so vaccine and diagnostic development are covered as well as field work.生物技术与遗传学都在名单上，疫苗与诊断开发因此与田间工作一样有位置。

• Nutrition, meat science and fish diseases carry the production side, which keeps aquaculture inside the journal.营养，肉品科学与鱼类疾病撑起生产一端，水产养殖因此留在刊内。

• Wildlife and laboratory animal medicine are named separately, and both are treated as clinical as well as ecological subjects.野生动物与实验动物医学分开列名，两者既当临床题目也当生态题目处理。

• Original research, reviews and systematic reviews are the three accepted forms, and there is no page limit on any of them.原创研究，综述与系统综述是三种接收形式，三者都没有页数上限。

• The abstract is structured under background and aim, materials and methods, results and conclusion, so methods cannot be left vague.摘要按背景与目的，材料与方法，结果，结论四段结构，方法写不糊。

• Eight keywords are required, which is more than most journals ask and it widens the search surface for each paper.关键词要写八个，比多数刊物要求得多，每篇论文的检索面因此更宽。

• Animal work needs an ethics approval number and ARRIVE reporting, and the two are checked at the desk.动物实验要伦理批件编号与 ARRIVE 报告，两项在台面上就核。

• Reviews are welcomed rather than discouraged, and the journal says so where authors will read it.综述在这里是受欢迎的，不是被劝退的，刊物把这句话放在作者看得到的地方。

• Manuscripts are set in Word with Calibri at eleven points and line numbers, a plain requirement that suits a large editorial desk.稿件用 Word 排版，Calibri 十一号加行号，要求朴素，适合处理量大的编辑部。

• Author changes are not allowed after provisional acceptance, which closes the door on the gift authorship that open access titles attract.临时录用之后不许改作者，开放获取刊物常招来的挂名问题因此被堵住。

• The readership is veterinary practitioners, public health officers and research students, with a large share in South Asia and Africa.读者是执业兽医，公共卫生官员与研究生的组合，其中南亚与非洲占很大一块。

History

• Twelve issues a year is the pattern, and the journal has kept to it while growing to 331 articles in the 2025 measurement year.一年十二期是常态，刊物一边维持这个节奏，一边把年发文做到 2025 测量年的 331 篇。

• The National Library of Medicine gives current indexing status no, so the title is not in MEDLINE even though the journal lists PubMed and PMC.美国国立医学图书馆的现收录状态为否，刊物并未进 MEDLINE，尽管官网自己列了 PubMed 与 PMC。
