About the journal
Aims and Scope
Zoonoses and Public Health. (formerly Journal of Veterinary Medicine, Series B) brings together veterinary and human health researchers and policy-makers by providing a venue for publishing integrated and global approaches to zoonoses and public health. The Editors will consider papers that focus on timely collaborative and multi-disciplinary research in zoonoses and public health. This journal provides rapid publication of original papers, reviews, and potential discussion papers embracing this collaborative spirit. Papers should advance the scientific knowledge of the sources, transmission, prevention and control of zoonoses and be authored by scientists with expertise in areas such as microbiology, virology, parasitology and epidemiology. Articles that incorporate recent data into new methods, applications, or approaches (e.g. statistical modeling) which enhance public health are strongly encouraged.

2. SUBMISSION AND ACCEPTANCE OF MANUSCRIPTS
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically via the online submission site Manuscript Central. The use of an online submission and peer review site speeds up the decision-making process, enables immediate distribution and allows authors to track the status of their own manuscripts. If assistance is needed (or if for some reason online submission is not possible), the Editorial Office can be contacted and will readily provide any help users need to upload their manuscripts.

3. REQUIREMENTS FOR MANUSCRIPTS
3.1. Format
On page one of the manuscript, please include the corresponding author, name of the institution, place where the work was carried out, title of the manuscript, names of the authors, the addresses of the authors and the e-mail address of the corresponding author. Each original article should be divided into Summary and Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion and References. Summaries should not be longer than 300 words and up to six keywords should be provided. Please also include three bullet points explaining the importance of the paper's findings for a non-specialist audience. These points will be published at the top of the article in a box entitled "Public Health Forum".
The manuscript comprises the text and a list of all figures and tables with their captions and titles in a separate file. We ask that you convey the essential information within the first 60 characters of the captions to accommodate the online edition. Each figure, table, and bibliographic entry must have a reference in the text. For all figures please include reproduceable artwork (marked with the author's name, short title, and figure number). Any corrections requested by the reviewer should already be integrated into the file.
The data files must be PC/Windows-compatible. Please send the figures as separate files and do not import them into the text file. The text should be prepared using standard software (Microsoft Word, Word Perfect) or saved in rtf format; do not use automated or manual hyphenation. Please do not include footnotes.
3.2. Length
Original papers should not exceed 20 typewritten pages, including illustrations, tables and references. Short Communications should not exceed 5 typewritten pages, including figures, tables and references. Short Communications may be published more rapidly. Review articles - including illustrations, tables and literature references - should not exceed 40 typewritten pages (format DIN A4 or 8.5 ?11"). The number of illustrations and tables must be kept to a minimum.
3.3. Units, Abbreviations and Nomenclature
All specifications must be stated according to the S.I. system. Concentrations of chemical solutions are to be given in mol/l. All other concentrations should be given in % (volume or weight).
Any abbreviations of chemical, biological, medical or other terms should only be employed when it is certain that they are internationally known. The full name must be stated in brackets when the abbreviation is first used.
All biological, medical, chemical or other terms should be used according to the most recent recommendations of the respective international nomenclature. Enzymes should be given in I.U. (International Units), according to Enzyme Nomenclature (Elsevier Publishing Co., 1965). In the case of commercially obtained substances or reagents, when they are first mentioned in the text, the name and address of the manufacturer or supplier should be given as a footnote. Products (preparations etc.) with a registered trademark should be marked with ?
Bacterial names should be in accordance with the latest edition of Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology (The Williams and Wilkins Co., Baltimore). Viruses are to be given the classification and names recommended by the International Committee on the Nomenclature of Viruses.
Names of micro-organisms and zoological names will be printed in italics and should be underlined in the manuscript.
3.4. Illustrations and Tables
Figures should be saved in a neutral data format such as TIFF or EPS, and a printout should always be included. Powerpoint and Word graphics are unsuitable for reproduction. Please do not use any pixel-oriented programmes. Photographs or drawings submitted for publication with the manuscript must be of high quality, distinct and well-focused, if they are to be suitable for reproduction. Scanned figures (only in TIFF format) should have a resolution of 300 dpi (halftone) or 600 to 1200 dpi (line drawings) in relation to the reproduction size. Please submit the data for figures in black and white. However, colour photos can be reproduced in black and white (with a possible loss of contrast). Figures printed in colour are subject to an added charge. In the event that an author is not able to cover the costs of reproducing colour figures in colour in the printed version of the journal, Zoonoses and Public Health offers authors the opportunity to reproduce colour figures in colour for free in the online version of the article (but they will still appear in black and white in the print version). Colour print charges are explained on the Colour Work Agreement Form. Colour graphics should be created using the CMYK colour palette (print colours), not RGB (monitor colours). There is a charge for alterations to figures when carried out by the publisher.
Please note that figures will generally be reduced to fit within the column-width or the print area. This means that numbering and lettering must still be readable when reduced (e.g. maps) and that the scale might not correspond with the original (microscopic pictures), thereby invalidating references to scale in the text. If a figure is to be cropped, please mark the lines on a photocopy or tracing paper. Printouts should be made with a laserprinter at the highest resolution (> 600 dpi). If artwork is to be scanned, line drawings should only be contour drawings without halftones (shades of grey). Please do not use patterns; rough hatching is possible.
Graphs with an x and y axis should not be enclosed in frames; only 2-dimensional representations. Do not forget the labels and units. Captions for the figures should give a precise description of the content and should not be repeated within the figure.
Tables should be created using the table function.
In the case of figures or tables taken from already published material, their source must be stated, and copyright waivers must be obtained.
3.5. References
We recommend the use of a tool such as EndNote or Reference Manager for reference management and formatting.
EndNote reference styles can be searched for here:
http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp
Reference Manager reference styles can be searched for here:
http://www.refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp
Each original paper should include bibliographical references which should be restricted to the necessary minimum. The name of the journal in which the paper cited appears should be listed in the form of the abbreviated title from the cover of the journal concerned, otherwise use the abbreviations contained in a Bibliographic Guide for Editors & Authors from Chemical Abstracts, which is available in all major libraries, or the World List of Scientific Periodicals, 4th ed., London 1963-65. Anonymous contributions should be placed at the beginning of the list of references. The list of references should be in alphabetical order of first authors' names.
Each reference should contain the following data:
First author's surname in capital letters followed by the initials of given names and other authors with initials preceding the surname, year of publication (no brackets), title of the paper, abbreviated title of journal, volume number - in bold - and page numbers, e.g.
Gothe, R., Y. Gold, and A. Kraiss, 1986: On the subspecific validity of Rhipicephalus mimeticus D鰊itz, 1910. J. Vet. Med. B 33, 47-59.
Books or other separate publications should be quoted as follows:
Author(s) with surname in capital letters, initials of given name(s), year of publication (no brackets), book title, publisher, publishing place, e. g.: Bisping, W., and G. Amtsberg, 1988: Colour Atlas for the Diagnosis of Bacterial Pathogens in Animals. Paul Parey Scientific Publishers, Berlin.
References in the text to literature in the References should be given by placing in parenthesis the name(s) of the author(s), adding the year of publication (e.g.: Thein and H鋜tl, 1986).
3.6. Laboratory Animals
In the case of a research project in which experimental animals were involved the authors are requested to give precise details about the animals in the interest of reproducibility of the findings (e.g. source, breeding, pathogen-free, conventional, weight) and their maintenance (standard diet, environment etc.). In addition, it is necessary to document that all procedures with animals were carried out in accordance to appropriate humane methods.
4. COPYRIGHT ASSIGNMENT
Authors are no longer required to assign copyright in their paper. Instead authors are required to assign the exclusive licence to publish their paper to Blackwell Publishing and the Journal of Veterinary Medicine B. Assignment of the exclusive licence is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless licence has been assigned. (Papers subject to government or Crown copyright are exempt from this requirement). Please download the Exclusive Licence Form here.
5. PROOF CORRECTION AND OFFPRINTS
The corresponding author will receive an email alert containing a link to a web site. A working email address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. The proof can be downloaded as a PDF (portable document format) file from this site. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following Web site:
www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.
This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen, and printed out in order for any corrections to be added. Further instructions will be sent with the proof. Proofs will be posted if no e-mail address is available; in your absence, please arrange for a colleague to access your e-mail to retrieve the proofs. When you receive proofs of your article, please check and return them without delay. As changes to proofs are costly, we ask that you only correct typesetting errors.Excessive changes made by the author in the proofs, excluding typesetting errors, will be charged separately.
Offprints : A free PDF file of your article together with a note governing conditions of use will be supplied to authors upon publication.
Additional paper offprints may be ordered online. Please click on the following link, fill in the necessary details and ensure that you type information in all of the required fields.

Please note that unless specifically requested, Blackwell Publishing will dipose of all hardcopy or electronic material submitted two months after publication. If you require the return of any material submitted, please inform the editorial office or production editor as soon as possible if you have not yet done so.
7. COLOUR ARTWORK FORMS
It is the policy of the Journal of Veterinary Medicine series B for authors to pay the full cost for the reproduction of their colour artwork.
