One Health Microbiology & Infection

One Health Microbiology & Infection (ISSN 3054-5161) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to high-quality research on microorganisms and infectious diseases within the One Health framework, recognizing the interconnected health of humans, animals, and the environment.

The journal publishes research addressing the biology, epidemiology, transmission, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and control of infectious agents, with particular emphasis on pathogens and health threats of human, veterinary, environmental, and public-health importance. Areas of interest include medical and veterinary microbiology, zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), antimicrobial stewardship, food safety, environmental and wastewater surveillance, genomic epidemiology, pathogen genomics and metagenomics, host–pathogen interactions, infectious-disease surveillance, diagnostics, vaccines, therapeutics, and outbreak investigation.

The journal welcomes interdisciplinary research on bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic pathogens, as well as emerging and re-emerging infections, vector-borne and food- and water-borne diseases, environmental and wildlife reservoirs, and the ecological, climatic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and policy factors that influence infectious-disease emergence, transmission, and control.

Priority is given to integrated and translational studies that connect human, animal, and/or environmental health and generate evidence relevant to disease prevention, risk assessment, antimicrobial stewardship, surveillance, public health, veterinary health, environmental health, and health policy.

The journal welcomes original research articles, systematic and narrative reviews, meta-analyses, short communications, methods and protocols, perspectives, letters, and commentaries, provided that they make a clear and scientifically justified contribution to the journal's scope.

Topics of Interest

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• One Health microbiology and infectious-disease research

• Zoonotic and reverse-zoonotic diseases

• Medical, veterinary, and environmental microbiology

• Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases

• Antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial stewardship

• Human–animal–environment interfaces and disease transmission

• Infectious-disease epidemiology, surveillance, and outbreak investigation

• Genomic epidemiology, pathogen genomics, metagenomics, and molecular epidemiology

• Environmental, wastewater, wildlife, and ecological surveillance

• Food- and water-borne infections and food safety

• Vector-borne and neglected tropical diseases

• Host–pathogen interactions and microbial pathogenesis

• Diagnostic methods and surveillance technologies

• Vaccines, therapeutics, and disease-prevention strategies

• Climate and environmental drivers of infectious diseases

• Socioeconomic, behavioral, and policy determinants of infectious-disease risk and control

• Integrated approaches to public health, veterinary health, environmental health, and global health security

Scope Boundaries

Manuscripts should demonstrate a clear and scientifically meaningful connection to microbiology, infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, or the One Health framework. Studies focused exclusively on topics outside these areas, without a substantive relevance to human, animal, or environmental infectious-disease health, may be considered outside the scope.

Studies need not address all three One Health domains. However, manuscripts should clearly explain the relevance of their findings to human health, animal health, environmental health, or the interactions among these domains, as appropriate to the research question.
