Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases is an authoritative, peer-reviewed journal providing basic and applied research on diseases transmitted to humans by invertebrate vectors or non-human vertebrates. The Journal examines geographic, seasonal, and other risk factors that influence the transmission, diagnosis, management, and prevention of this group of infectious diseases, and identifies global trends that have the potential to result in major epidemics.

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases coverage includes:

Ecology
Entomology
Epidemiology
Infectious diseases
Microbiology
Parasitology
Pathology
Public health
Tropical medicine
Wildlife biology
Bacterial, rickettsial, viral, and parasitic zoonoses
