Journal of Veterinary Medical and One Health Research Justification Of Journal of Veterinary Medical and One Health Research Scope (JVMOHR) ● The ‘JVMOHR’ is an international peer reviewed open access scholarly journal primarily published yearly volumes of two issues on June and December by LEP both print and online since 2019. ● The ‘JVMOHR’ publishes original research papers and reviews of all the subjects of veterinary medical sciences and technology required for dual degrees (BS in Animal Sciences and DVM) and research on veterinary and human medical sciences associated with ‘One Health’ activities. ● The ‘JVMOHR’ will be unique in its discipline by setting standards in the field of veterinary, medical and allied sciences to make a multidisciplinary education and research with a complex collaborative platfor m ‘One Health’ for rapid communication of scientific knowledge of human, animals and environmental health especially pathogens transmitted among animals, humans and environment. Justification of the Journal name, ‘JVMOHR’ Approximately 245 journals are presently dedicated to veterinary medical field and about 1019413 articles are being published annually all over the world (Omics International). Some important title of the veterinary medical science (animal science) and related journals are listed: 1 Animal Welfare Annual Review of Animal Biosciences Archives of Animal Nutrition Avian Diseases Avian Pathology Avian Research Annals of Veterinary and Animal Sciences BMC Veterinary Research Buffalo Bulletin Buffalo Journal Frontiers in Veterinary Science Journal of Advanced Vet & Animal Science Journal of Advanced Vet & Animal Research Journal of Agriculture and Veterinary Science Journal of Animal and Plant Science Journal of Animal Health Journal of Animal Health and Production Journal of Animal Science Journal of Animal Research Journal of Applied Animal Science Journal of Applied Animal Research Journal of Animal and Veterinary Advances Journal of Animal and Veterinary Science Journal of Applied Animal Research Journal of Comparative Pathology Journal of Fisheries and Livestock Production Journal of Food Science & Animal Resources Journal of Livestock Science Journal of Livestock Research Journal of Dairy Science Journal of Dairy Research Journal of Dairy Science and Technology Journal of Veterinary Advances Journal of Veterinary Archive Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation Journal of Veterinary Science Journal of Veterinary Services Journal of Vet Science and Animal Husbandry Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences Journal of Veterinary Science and Technology Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine Journal of Vet Science and Medical Diagnosis Journal of Veterinary Medical Association Journal of Avian Science Journal of Poultry Science Journal of Animal Nutrition Journal of Animal Genetics and Breeding Journal of Animal and Fisheries Science Journal of Veterinary Anatomy & Histology J. of Vet Behavior: Clinical Applications & Res.

In addition some have been used the term international and advanced in the title. All these inappropriate scope under the different title of the journal have been explained in the article, “Samad MA (2017). Current status and challenges for globalisation of veterinary medical education for the ‘One Health’ programme. Rev. Sci. Tech. Off. Int. Epiz. 36 (3): 741-765.” In addition, the International term involves to all or at least two or more nations (Princeton’s WorldNet). Accordingly, all online journals can be considered as International Journal except the impact factor, however, some journal doesn’t have any impact factor but their title is International. Some journal added advanced word in their title whereas advanced in science means ‘being beyond the elementary or introductory’ (Merriam-Webster), whereas the scope of these journal include all aspects of veterinary and animal sciences. However, it is very difficult to interpret and application of the term advanced in Veterinary Science and medicine. To present and include all the aspects of veterinary science (animal science), veterinary medicine and technology with ‘One Health’ aspects, there is a need of a comprehensive title of a journal that includes all concerned aspects and that is why, the ‘JVMOHR’ title has been selected to cover all the aspects of national, international, elementary, advanced, science, health, husbandry, production, biomedical, animal welfare, technology, research, education, extension, clinical practice, disease, hosts (animals & birds), resources, zoonoses, public health, food safety, archive and all other related aspects. 4 Reasons for selection of the ‘JVMOHR’ Appropriately wide-range scope of the JVMOHR Open access publishing i.e. visibility of articles all over the world. Quality and potential of the concerned professional reviewers Impartial peer review of articles with helpful criticism Fruitful suggestions to improve the manuscript Swift processing and publication process as per schedule Minimum publication charges Therefore, publish your professional review and research articles in the right veterinary medical professional journal to upgrade the veterinary medical education and research directly for society need nationally and globally. 5 .

    Smith et al. BMC Veterinary Research 2012, 8:183 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1746-6148/8/183 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Host predilection and transmissibility of vesicular stomatitis New Jersey virus strains in domestic cattle (Bos taurus) and swine (Sus scrofa) Paul F Smith1, Elizabeth W Howerth2, Deborah Carter2, Elmer W Gray1, Raymond Noblet1, Roy D Berghaus3, David E Stallknecht4 and Daniel G Mead4* Abstract Background: Epidemiologic data collected during epidemics in the western United States combined with limited experimental studies involving swine and cattle suggest that host predilection of epidemic vesicular stomatitis New Jersey virus (VSNJV) strains results in variations in clinical response, extent and duration of virus shedding and transmissibility following infection in different hosts. Laboratory challenge of livestock with heterologous VSNJV strains to investigate potential viral predilections for these hosts has not been thoroughly investigated. In separate trials, homologous VSNJV strains (NJ82COB and NJ82AZB), and heterologous strains (NJ06WYE and NJOSF [Ossabaw Island, sand fly]) were inoculated into cattle via infected black fly bite. NJ82AZB and NJ06WYE were similarly inoculated into swine. Results: Clinical scores among viruses infecting cattle were significantly different and indicated that infection with a homologous virus resulted in more severe clinical presentation and greater extent and duration of viral shedding. No differences in clinical severity or extent and duration of viral shedding were detected in swine. Conclusions: Differences in clinical presentation and extent and duration of viral shedding may have direct impacts on viral spread during epidemics. Viral transmission via animal-to-animal contact and insect vectored transmission are likely to occur at higher rates when affected animals are presenting severe clinical signs and shedding high concentrations of virus.

  • Methods Used to Estimate the Size of the Owned Cat And
    Downes et al. BMC Veterinary Research 2013, 9:121 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1746-6148/9/121 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Methods used to estimate the size of the owned cat and dog population: a systematic review Martin J Downes1*, Rachel S Dean1, Jenny H Stavisky1, Vicki J Adams2, Douglas JC Grindlay1 and Marnie L Brennan1 Abstract Background: There are a number of different methods that can be used when estimating the size of the owned cat and dog population in a region, leading to varying population estimates. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review to evaluate the methods that have been used for estimating the sizes of owned cat and dog populations and to assess the biases associated with those methods. A comprehensive, systematic search of seven electronic bibliographic databases and the Google search engine was carried out using a range of different search terms for cats, dogs and population. The inclusion criteria were that the studies had involved owned or pet domestic dogs and/or cats, provided an estimate of the size of the owned dog or cat population, collected raw data on dog and cat ownership, and analysed primary data. Data relating to study methodology were extracted and assessed for biases. Results: Seven papers were included in the final analysis. Collection methods used to select participants in the included studies were: mailed surveys using a commercial list of contacts, door to door surveys, random digit dialled telephone surveys, and randomised telephone surveys using a commercial list of numbers. Analytical and statistical methods used to estimate the pet population size were: mean number of dogs/cats per household multiplied by the number of households in an area, human density multiplied by number of dogs per human, and calculations using predictors of pet ownership.

  • Veterinary Parasitology
    VETERINARY PARASITOLOGY An international scientific journal and the Official Organ of the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists (AAVP), the European Veterinary Parasitology College (EVPC) and the World Association for the Advancement of Veterinary Parasitology (WAAVP) AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Audience p.2 • Impact Factor p.2 • Abstracting and Indexing p.2 • Editorial Board p.2 • Guide for Authors p.5 ISSN: 0304-4017 DESCRIPTION . Veterinary Parasitology is concerned with those aspects of helminthology, protozoology and entomology which are of interest to animal health investigators, veterinary practitioners and others with a special interest in parasitology. Papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites in all domesticated animals, fall within the scope of the journal. Papers of geographically limited (local) interest which are not of interest to an international audience will not be accepted. Authors who submit papers based on local data will need to indicate why their paper is relevant to a broader readership. Or they can submit to the journal?s companion title, Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, which welcomes manuscripts with a regional focus. Parasitological studies on laboratory animals fall within the scope of Veterinary Parasitology only if they provide a reasonably close model of a disease of domestic animals. Additionally the journal will consider papers relating to wildlife species where they may act as disease reservoirs to domestic animals, or as a zoonotic reservoir. Case studies considered to be unique or of specific interest to the journal, will also be considered on occasions at the Editors' discretion.

  • The ARRIVE Guidelines 2.0: Updated Guidelines for Reporting Animal Research Nathalie Percie Du Sert1*, Viki Hurst1, Amrita Ahluwalia2,3, Sabina Alam4, Marc T
    Percie du Sert et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2020) 16:242 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-020-02451-y GUIDELINE Open Access The ARRIVE guidelines 2.0: Updated guidelines for reporting animal research Nathalie Percie du Sert1*, Viki Hurst1, Amrita Ahluwalia2,3, Sabina Alam4, Marc T.

Sena19, Shai D. Silberberg24, Thomas Steckler25 and Hanno Würbel26 Abstract Reproducible science requires transparent reporting. The ARRIVE guidelines (Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments) were originally developed in 2010 to improve the reporting of animal research. They consist of a checklist of information to include in publications describing in vivo experiments to enable others to scrutinise the work adequately, evaluate its methodological rigour, and reproduce the methods and results. Despite considerable levels of endorsement by funders and journals over the years, adherence to the guidelines has been inconsistent, and the anticipated improvements in the quality of reporting in animal research publications have not been achieved. Here, we introduce ARRIVE 2.0. The guidelines have been updated and information reorganised to facilitate their use in practice. We used a Delphi exercise to prioritise and divide the items of the guidelines into 2 sets, the “ARRIVE Essential 10,” which constitutes the minimum requirement, and the “Recommended Set,” which describes the research context. This division facilitates improved reporting of animal research by supporting a stepwise approach to implementation.

  • Critically Appraised Topic on Adverse Food
    Olivry and Mueller BMC Veterinary Research (2017) 13:51 DOI 10.1186/s12917-017-0973-z RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Critically appraised topic on adverse food reactions of companion animals (3): prevalence of cutaneous adverse food reactions in dogs and cats Thierry Olivry1* and Ralf S. Mueller2 Abstract Background: The prevalence of cutaneous adverse food reactions (CAFRs) in dogs and cats is not precisely known. This imprecision is likely due to the various populations that had been studied. Our objectives were to systematically review the literature to determine the prevalence of CAFRs among dogs and cats with pruritus and skin diseases. Results: We searched two databases for pertinent references on August 18, 2016. Among 490 and 220 articles respectively found in the Web of Science (Science Citation Index Expanded) and CAB Abstract databases, we selected 22 and nine articles that reported data usable for CAFR prevalence determination in dogs and cats, respectively. The prevalence of CAFR in dogs and cats was found to vary depending upon the type of diagnoses made. Among dogs presented to their veterinarian for any diagnosis, the prevalence was 1 to 2% and among those with skin diseases, it ranged between 0 and 24%. The range of CAFR prevalence was similar in dogs with pruritus (9 to 40%), those with any type of allergic skin disease (8 to 62%) and in dogs diagnosed with atopic dermatitis (9 to 50%). In cats presented to a university hospital, the prevalence of CAFR was less than 1% (0.2%), while it was fairly homogeneous in cats with skin diseases (range: 3 to 6%), but higher in cats with pruritus (12 to 21%) than in cats with allergic skin disease (5 to 13%).

  • Epidemiology of Hepatitis E Virus Infection in Animals in Africa: A
    Modiyinji et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2021) 17:50 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-021-02749-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Epidemiology of hepatitis E virus infection in animals in Africa: a systematic review and meta-analysis Abdou Fatawou Modiyinji1,2, Jean Joel Bigna3,4, Sebastien Kenmoe1, Fredy Brice N. Simo1,3, Marie A. Amougou1,3, Marie S. Ndangang5, Moise Nola2 and Richard Njouom1* Abstract Background: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of acute hepatitis in humans worldwide and have high burden in the resource-limited countries. Better knowledge of the epidemiology of hepatitis in animals in Africa can help to understand the epidemiology among humans. The objective of this study was to summarize the prevalence of HEV infection and distribution of HEV genotypes among animals in Africa. Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we comprehensively searched PubMed, EMBASE, African Journals Online, and Africa Index Medicus from January 1st, 2000 to March 22th, 2020 without any language restriction. We considered cross-sectional studies of HEV infection in animals in Africa. Study selection, data extraction, and methodological quality of included studies were done independently by two investigators. Prevalence data were pooled using the random-effects meta-analysis. This review was registered in PROSPERO, CRD42018087684. Results: Twenty-five studies (13 species and 6983 animals) were included. The prevalence (antibodies or ribonucleic acid [RNA]) of HEV infection in animals varied widely depending on biological markers of HEV infection measured: 23.4% (95% confidence interval; 12.0–37.2) for anti-HEV immunoglobulins G, 13.1% (3.1–28.3) for anti-HEV immunoglobulins M, and 1.8% (0.2–4.3) for RNA; with substantial heterogeneity.

  • Use of Β-Caryophyllene to Combat Bacterial Dental Plaque Formation In
    Pieri et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2016) 12:216 DOI 10.1186/s12917-016-0842-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Use of β-caryophyllene to combat bacterial dental plaque formation in dogs Fábio Alessandro Pieri1,2, Marina Campos de Castro Souza2, Ligia Lobato Ramos Vermelho2, Marina Lobato Ramos Vermelho2, Pedro Griffo Perciano2, Fabiano Souza Vargas3, Andréa Pacheco Batista Borges2, Valdir Florêncio da Veiga-Junior3 and Maria Aparecida Scatamburlo Moreira2* Abstract Background: Periodontal disease is a highly prevalent illness that affects many dogs, reaching up to 85 % prevalence in individuals over the age of 4 years. Currently the drug of choice for combating the formation of dental plaque in these animals, the etiologic agent of the disease, is chlorhexidine, which has several side effects reported. Thus, surveys are conducted throughout the world in order to identify potential substitutes for antimicrobial therapy and prevention of periodontal disease. The objective of the work was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of β-caryophyllene against bacteria from dog’s dental plaque in vitro and in vivo. The minimum inhibitory concentration was evaluated by agar microdilution assay, the induction or inhibition of bacterial adherence by sub-inhibitory concentrations in 96-well plates, and reduction of dental plaque formation in mongrel dogs subjected to topical solution with β-caryophyllene for 15 days. Results: Results showed minimum inhibitory concentrations above 100 mg/mL for 25 % of the isolates, 100 mg/mL for 3 %, 50 mg/mL for 25 %, 25 mg/mL for 12 %, 12.5 mg/mL for 19 % and 6.25 mg/mL for 16 %.

Managing dog populations is achieved through a range of interventions to suit the dog population dynamics and dog ownership characteristics of the location, with a number of potential impacts or goals in mind. Impact assessment provides the opportunity for interventions to identify areas of inefficiencies for improvement and build evidence of positive change. Methods: This scoping review collates 26 studies that have assessed the impacts of dog population management interventions. Results: It reports the use of 29 indicators of change under 8 categories of impact and describes variation in the methods used to measure these indicators. Conclusion: The relatively few published examples of impact assessment in dog population management suggest this field is in its infancy; however this review highlights those notable exceptions. By describing those indicators and methods of measurement that have been reported thus far, and apparent barriers to efficient assessment, this review aims to support and direct future impact assessment.
