Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia is published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Association of Veterinary Anaesthetists and the American College of Veterinary Anesthesiologists. Its purpose is the publication of original, peer-reviewed articles covering all branches of anaesthesia and the relief of pain in animals. Articles concerned with the following subjects related to anaesthesia and analgesia are also welcome: the basic sciences; pathophysiology of disease as it relates to anaesthetic management; equipment; intensive care; chemical restraint of animals including wildlife and exotic animals; welfare issues associated with pain and distress; education in veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia. The journal publishes:

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice presents those in the veterinary medicine field with the most current treatment of horses, updates on the latest advances, and provides a sound basis for choosing treatment options. Published 3 times a year—in April, August, and December—each issue features expert, state-of-the-art reviews on a single topic in equine practice, including gastroenterology, imaging, infectious diseases, nutrition, orthopedics, pathology, pharmacology and therapeutics, and surgery.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice offers you the most current information on exotic animal treatment, updates you on the latest advances, and provides a sound basis for choosing treatment options. Each issue (January, May, and September) focuses on a single topic in exotic animal practice and is presented under the direction of an experienced editor. Topics include anesthesia/analgesia, infectious diseases, therapeutics, emergency medicine, surgery, gastroenterology, and clinical pathology.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice presents those in the veterinary medicine field with the most current treatment of food animals, updates on the latest advances, and provides a sound basis for choosing treatment options. Published 3 times a year—in March, July, and November—each issue features expert, state-of-the-art reviews on a single topic, including anesthesia/analgesia, infectious diseases, therapeutics, emergency medicine, surgery, gastroenterology, and clinical pathology.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice offers you the most current information on the treatment of small animals such as cats and dogs, updates you on the latest advances, and provides a sound basis for choosing treatment options. Published bi-monthly—in January, March, May, July, September, November—each issue focuses on a single topic in small animal practice, including endocrinology, fluids and electrolytes, gastroenterology, infectious diseases, neurology, oncology, urology, respiratory issues , surgical information, small animal behavior, laboratory medicine, imaging methods, and nutrition.

The journal reports basic, comparative and clinical immunology as they pertain to the animal species designated here: livestock, poultry, and fish species that are major food animals and companion animals such as cats, dogs, horses and camels, and wildlife species that act as reservoirs for food, companion or human infectious diseases, or as models for human disease.Rodent models of infectious diseases that are of importance in the animal species indicated above,when the disease requires a level of containment that is not readily available for larger animal experimentation (ABSL3), will be considered. Papers on rabbits, lizards, guinea pigs, badgers, armadillos, elephants, antelope, and buffalo will be reviewed if the research advances our fundamental understanding of immunology, or if they act as a reservoir of infectious disease for the primary animal species designated above, or for humans. Manuscripts employing other species will be reviewed if justified as fitting into the categories above.The following topics are appropriate: biology of cells and mechanisms of the immune system, immunochemistry, immunodeficiencies, immunodiagnosis, immunogenetics, immunopathology, immunology of infectious disease and tumors, immunoprophylaxis including vaccine development and delivery, immunological aspects of pregnancy including passive immunity, autoimmuity, neuroimmunology, and transplanatation immunology. Manuscripts that describe new genes and development of tools such as monoclonal antibodies are also of interest when part of a larger biological study. Studies employing extracts or constituents (plant extracts, feed additives or microbiome) must be sufficiently defined to be reproduced in other laboratories and also provide evidence for possible mechanisms and not simply show an effect on the immune system.Ideas and suggestions for Special Issues are also welcome. These may focus on a planned conference/symposium for which a selection of the best papers could be published together (after peer review). Alternatively, they could consist of a group of invited papers which together present an up-to-date overview on an important immunological topic.
