Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Preventive Veterinary Medicine' focuses on advancing the understanding and application of preventive measures in veterinary medicine, particularly concerning animal health and infectious diseases. It encompasses a broad range of topics that address the intersections of veterinary science, epidemiology, and public health.
  1. Epidemiological Studies:
    Research that examines the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specific populations, often focusing on infectious diseases affecting livestock and companion animals.
  2. Biosecurity Practices:
    Studies aimed at assessing and improving biosecurity measures on farms to prevent disease outbreaks and ensure animal health.
  3. Antimicrobial Resistance:
    Research exploring the prevalence and factors associated with antimicrobial resistance in veterinary settings, including the implications for animal treatment and public health.
  4. Decision Support Tools:
    Development and evaluation of tools that assist veterinarians and farmers in making informed decisions regarding animal health management and disease prevention.
  5. One Health Approach:
    Interdisciplinary research that recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, often addressing zoonotic diseases.
  6. Machine Learning and Data Analysis:
    Utilization of advanced statistical and computational methods to analyze veterinary health data, aiming to predict disease outbreaks and improve management strategies.
  7. Public Health Campaigns:
    Assessment of initiatives designed to educate communities about animal health risks and promote preventive measures, such as vaccination and responsible pet ownership.
The journal has seen a rise in publications addressing contemporary issues and innovative practices in veterinary medicine, reflecting the evolving landscape of animal health and disease management.
  1. Integrated Disease Management Strategies:
    There is a growing emphasis on holistic approaches that combine veterinary care, biosecurity, and management practices to enhance animal health and prevent disease.
  2. Impact of Climate Change on Animal Health:
    Research exploring how climate change affects animal health, disease distribution, and management practices is gaining traction, highlighting the need for adaptive strategies.
  3. Use of Technology in Veterinary Medicine:
    The incorporation of technology, such as telemedicine, wearable health monitoring devices, and data analytics, is increasingly prevalent in veterinary practices.
  4. Community-Based Animal Health Approaches:
    Emerging themes focus on involving local communities in animal health initiatives, promoting sustainable practices, and enhancing the capacity for disease prevention.
  5. Zoonotic Disease Research:
    Increased attention is being paid to zoonotic diseases, particularly in the context of global health security and the One Health paradigm, reflecting rising public health concerns.

Declining or Waning

While 'Preventive Veterinary Medicine' covers a wide range of topics, certain areas have shown a decline in focus over recent years, reflecting shifting priorities in veterinary research and practice.
  1. Traditional Animal Husbandry Practices:
    Research centered on conventional farming methods is decreasing as the field shifts towards more innovative and sustainable practices, including precision agriculture and welfare-oriented systems.
  2. Basic Virology and Pathology Studies:
    There is a noticeable decrease in studies focusing solely on the basic aspects of virology and pathology without incorporating practical applications or interventions in veterinary medicine.
  3. Generic Disease Surveillance Methods:
    Generic approaches to disease surveillance are becoming less prominent as more specialized, data-driven, and context-specific surveillance strategies are being developed.
  4. Historical Epidemiological Data Analysis:
    Research relying heavily on historical data without new methodologies or technologies is waning in favor of real-time data analysis and predictive modeling.
  5. Single-Species Focus Studies:
    Research that examines diseases or health issues in isolation, without considering the broader ecological or epidemiological context, is declining as interdisciplinary approaches gain importance.
