Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a call for submissions to our Special Issue on “Molecular Advances in Veterinary Science”. This issue seeks to capture the latest innovations and research across the broad landscape of veterinary science, with a particular interest in studies that leverage molecular techniques to advance knowledge and improve practices in animal health and diagnostics. We encourage submissions from, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Forensic Applications in Veterinary Science: Research or case reports on the use of molecular tools in veterinary forensic analysis is/are encouraged. This includes DNA analysis for species identification, toxicology reports, and innovative approaches to investigating incidents of animal harm or neglect.
- Veterinary Molecular Diagnostics: We welcome research exploring novel diagnostic methods, including advancements in molecular and biochemical techniques for the rapid identification of diseases, pathogens, and contaminants affecting animal health.
- DNA Analysis in Veterinary Forensics: Manuscripts that examine the use of DNA analysis for species identification, individual identification, and resolving animal-related crimes are crucial. This encompasses research on the latest DNA technologies and their application in forensic cases.
- Antimicrobial Resistance and Animal Health: We invite studies that investigate the mechanisms, detection, and control of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in veterinary settings. Submissions may include molecular insights into AMR spread, the development of rapid diagnostics, and implications for animal and public health.
- Molecular Pathology and Toxicology: Manuscripts detailing molecular approaches to understanding the effects of toxic substances, pathological processes, and therapeutic misadventures in animals are highly valued. We seek case studies and methodological advancements that deepen our understanding of these challenges in veterinary contexts.
- Molecular Epidemiology and Zoonotic Disease Control: We encourage submissions that examine the spread and molecular tracking of zoonotic pathogens in animal populations. Topics could include outbreak investigations, molecular epidemiological studies, and insights into the prevention and control of zoonotic diseases.
- Advancements in Veterinary Genomics and Proteomics: Research focused on genomic and proteomic studies that improve animal breeding, welfare, and disease resistance are welcome. Submissions may include novel applications of genome sequencing, gene expression analysis, and proteomic profiling.
- Veterinary Forensic Autopsy: Submissions exploring forensic autopsy techniques in veterinary science are particularly encouraged. We seek research on forensic pathology findings, necropsy methodologies, and molecular analyses that aid in legal investigations. Case studies that highlight forensic autopsy applications, such as detecting signs of poisoning, trauma, or other unnatural causes of death, and the integration of molecular tools in these assessments, are of special interest.
We look forward to receiving your submissions and to the valuable discussions that they will undoubtedly inspire.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
