Veterinary Immunology And Immunopathology

Journal Title：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.

本期刊報道與此處指定的動物物種相關的基礎、比較和臨床免疫學：作為主要食用動物和伴侶動物的牲畜、家禽和魚類物種，例如貓、狗、馬和駱駝，以及作為食物、伴侶或人類傳染病的儲存器或作為人類疾病模型的野生動物物種。

當疾病需要的遏制水平無法用于大型動物實驗（ABSL3）時，將考慮對上述動物物種具有重要意義的嚙齒動物傳染病模型。如果研究推進了我們對免疫學的基本理解，或者如果它們作為上述主要動物物種或人類的傳染病儲存器，我們將審查關于兔子、蜥蜴、豚鼠、獾、犰狳、大象、羚羊和水牛的論文。如果證明其他物種的稿件符合上述類別，我們將對其進行審查。

以下主題是合適的：細胞生物學和免疫系統機制、免疫化學、免疫缺陷、免疫診斷、免疫遺傳學、免疫病理學、傳染病和腫瘤的免疫學、免疫預防（包括疫苗開發和遞送）、妊娠的免疫學方面（包括被動免疫）、自身免疫、神經免疫學和移植免疫學。描述新基因和單克隆抗體等工具開發的稿件作為大型生物學研究的一部分也會引起人們的興趣。使用提取物或成分（植物提取物、飼料添加劑或微生物組）的研究必須得到充分定義，以便在其他實驗室中重現，并為可能的機制提供證據，而不僅僅是顯示對免疫系統的影響。

Veterinary Immunology And Immunopathology創刊于1979年，由Elsevier出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋農林科學 - 免疫學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 約1.0個月 約11.2周，影響因子指數1.4，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
