Journal Title：Avian Pathology

Avian Pathology is the official journal of the World Veterinary Poultry Association and, since its first publication in 1972, has been a leading international journal for poultry disease scientists. It publishes material relevant to the entire field of infectious and non-infectious diseases of poultry and other birds. Accepted manuscripts will contribute novel data of interest to an international readership and will add significantly to knowledge and understanding of diseases, old or new. Subject areas include pathology, diagnosis, detection and characterisation of pathogens, infections of possible zoonotic importance, epidemiology, innate and immune responses, vaccines, gene sequences, genetics in relation to disease and physiological and biochemical changes in response to disease. First and subsequent reports of well-recognized diseases within a country are not acceptable unless they also include substantial new information about the disease or pathogen. Manuscripts on wild or pet birds should describe disease or pathogens in a significant number of birds, recognizing/suggesting serious potential impact on that species or that the disease or pathogen is of demonstrable relevance to poultry. Manuscripts on food-borne microorganisms acquired during or after processing, and those that catalogue the occurrence or properties of microorganisms, are unlikely to be considered for publication in the absence of data linking them to avian disease.

Avian Pathology 是世界兽医家禽协会的官方期刊，自 1972 年首次出版以来，一直是家禽疾病科学家的领先国际期刊。它出版与家禽和其他鸟类的传染性和非传染性疾病的整个领域相关的材料。被接受的手稿将为国际读者提供感兴趣的新数据，并将显着增加对新旧疾病的知识和理解。学科领域包括病理学、诊断、病原体的检测和表征、可能对人畜共患病具有重要意义的感染、流行病学、先天和免疫反应、疫苗、基因序列、与疾病相关的遗传学以及对疾病的生理和生化变化。一个国家内公认的疾病的首次和后续报告是不可接受的，除非它们还包含有关疾病或病原体的大量新信息。野生鸟类或宠物鸟类的手稿应描述大量鸟类的疾病或病原体，识别/暗示对该物种的严重潜在影响，或者疾病或病原体与家禽有明显相关性。在加工过程中或加工后获得的关于食源性微生物的手稿，以及那些对微生物的发生或特性进行分类的手稿，在没有将它们与禽类疾病联系起来的数据的情况下，不太可能考虑出版。
