Scope
The Zoological Medicine section strives to publish high-level basic and clinical research that furthers the knowledge and understanding of health and disease in the broadest multidisciplinary sense of the term along a gradient from captive to free-ranging wildlife and across all taxa. The section acknowledges that the major threats to wildlife health today are no longer limited solely to pathogens, parasites and toxins. Anthropogenic impacts such as habitat loss and fragmentation, expansion of agro-industrial production, globalized trade, land-use changes and climate change are recognized as major drivers of wildlife health and disease. With this understanding, the section encourages multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary submissions that recognize that wildlife health and resilience are the result of interactions between socio-economic and environmental factors, as well as the traits of individuals and populations. In accordance with the One Health Initiative, submissions related to the human - domestic pet - livestock - wildlife interface are encouraged.
The scope of this section includes not only the core fields of veterinary medicine such as surgery, anaesthesia, physiology, pathology, anatomy, and animal welfare as they relate to free-ranging and captive wildlife but clearly also incorporates fields including, but not limited to, ecology, conservation biology, economics and the social sciences. Submissions dealing with non-domestic pets will also be considered if they contribute towards the general understanding of wildlife diseases. The development of innovative techniques and equipment for the diagnosis, and where appropriate, the treatment of wildlife disease are equally welcome. Case reports, disease outbreaks descriptions that present novel insights into wildlife health will be similarly considered.

PMCID: coming soon for all published articles
Zoological Medicine welcomes submissions of the following article types: Case Report, Clinical Trial, Correction, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Specialty Grand Challenge and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Zoological Medicine, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Zoological Medicine will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Veterinary Science.
