Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine (JZWM) is considered one of the major sources of information on the biology and veterinary aspects in the field.

It stems from the founding premise of AAZV to share zoo animal medicine experiences.

The Journal evolved from the long history of members producing case reports and the increased publication of free-ranging wildlife papers.

The Journal accepts manuscripts of original research findings, case reports in the field of veterinary medicine dealing with captive and free-ranging wild animals, brief communications regarding clinical or research observations that may warrant publication.

It also publishes and encourages submission of relevant editorials, reviews, special reports, clinical challenges, abstracts of selected articles and book reviews.

The Journal is published quarterly, is peer reviewed, is indexed by the major abstracting services, and is international in scope and distribution.

Areas of interest include clinical medicine, surgery, anatomy, radiology, physiology, reproduction, nutrition, parasitology, microbiology, immunology, pathology (including infectious diseases and clinical pathology), toxicology, pharmacology, and epidemiology.
