About Journal of Wildlife Diseases

The Journal of Wildlife Diseases publishes the results of original research and observations dealing with all aspects of infectious, parasitic, toxic, nutritional, physiologic, developmental and neoplastic diseases, environmental contamination, and other factors impinging on the health and survival of free-living or captive populations of wild animals, including fish. Papers on zoonoses involving wildlife and on chemical immobilization of wild animals are published also. Manuscripts dealing with surveys and case reports may be published in the Journal provided that they contain significant new information or have significance for better understanding health and disease in wild populations. Authors are encouraged to address the wildlife management implications of their studies, where appropriate.

With the exception of review articles, manuscript submission should be done with the understanding that the information and ideas are original, have not been published previously, and are not being considered for publication elsewhere. With submission of a manuscript, authors also affirm that to the best of their knowledge they have complied with all applicable treaties, laws, and regulations in the collections, maintenance, and disposal of animals used in their study. Authors of manuscripts which are not in the public domain must transfer their full copyright interests exclusively to the Wildlife Disease Association. Forms for this transfer are provided when proofs are sent to authors. In addition to regular articles the Journal also publishes critical reviews (usually solicited by the Editor), perspectives, monographs, symposia, book reviews, research notes, and case reports.
