VECTOR-BORNE AND ZOONOTIC DISEASES
Scope & Guideline
Empowering researchers to tackle emerging health challenges.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Epidemiology of Vector-Borne Diseases:
The journal focuses on the distribution, determinants, and dynamics of vector-borne diseases, emphasizing the need for surveillance and public health interventions. - Zoonotic Pathogen Research:
Research on pathogens that can be transmitted from animals to humans is a core area, including studies on their biology, transmission routes, and impact on human health. - Ecological and Environmental Factors:
The journal explores how environmental changes, such as climate change and urbanization, affect vector populations and the spread of zoonotic diseases. - Molecular and Genomic Studies:
Innovative molecular techniques are employed to study the genetic makeup of pathogens, vectors, and their interactions, contributing to improved diagnostics and treatment options. - Public Health Strategies and Interventions:
Research is dedicated to evaluating control measures, vaccination strategies, and public health policies aimed at reducing the incidence of vector-borne and zoonotic diseases. - One Health Approach:
The integration of human, animal, and environmental health perspectives is emphasized to address the complexities of disease transmission and control.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of Climate Change on Disease Dynamics:
There is a growing interest in how climate change influences the distribution and behavior of vectors, as well as the emergence of new zoonotic diseases. - Genomic Surveillance and Pathogen Evolution:
Research on genomic sequencing and molecular epidemiology is trending, allowing for better tracking of pathogen evolution and resistance patterns. - Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases:
The journal is increasingly focusing on newly recognized diseases and those that are re-emerging due to factors like globalization and ecological changes. - One Health Initiatives:
There is a notable rise in studies that adopt a One Health perspective, integrating human health, animal health, and environmental factors to combat zoonotic diseases. - Public Health Preparedness and Response:
With the increasing frequency of outbreaks, research aimed at improving public health response strategies and preparedness for vector-borne diseases is on the rise.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Vector Control Methods:
There has been a noticeable decrease in research specifically focusing on conventional vector control methods, such as chemical spraying, as new integrated approaches gain traction. - Single Pathogen Studies:
The trend has shifted towards studying multiple pathogens and their interactions, leading to a decline in papers focusing solely on individual pathogens. - Historical Epidemiological Studies:
Research that solely documents historical data without contemporary relevance or application appears to be less emphasized, as the focus shifts towards current and predictive epidemiological modeling.
