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.

该期刊报道了与此处指定的动物物种有关的基础免疫学、比较免疫学和临床免疫学：牲畜、家禽和鱼类，它们是主要的食用动物和伴侣动物，例如猫、狗、马和骆驼，以及野生动物物种作为食物、伴生或人类传染病的宿主，或作为人类疾病的模型。

在上述动物物种中具有重要意义的啮齿动物传染病模型，当该疾病需要一定程度的遏制，而大型动物实验 (ABSL3) 不易获得时，将予以考虑。如果研究促进了我们对免疫学的基本理解，或者它们是上述主要动物物种的传染病库，将审查关于兔子、蜥蜴、豚鼠、獾、犰狳、大象、羚羊和水牛的论文，或为人类。使用其他物种的手稿如果符合上述类别，将被审查。

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） 、自身免疫学、神经免疫学和移植免疫学。作为大型生物学研究的一部分，描述新基因和开发工具（如单克隆抗体）的手稿也很有趣。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，才能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。

Veterinary Immunology And Immunopathology创刊于1979年，由ELSEVIER出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖农林科学 - 免疫学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度约1.0个月，影响因子指数1.713，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
