Veterinary Sciences (VTS)

Section Information

Veterinary Sciences focuses on the health, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases in animals, including companion animals, livestock, wildlife, and aquatic species. It addresses clinical care, animal welfare, zoonotic diseases, and the role of animals in public health.

Modern veterinary research includes advances in infectious disease control, surgery, internal medicine, reproduction, epidemiology, pathology, pharmacology, and preventive care. Developments in diagnostics, genomics, imaging, and therapeutic technologies continue to improve animal health and disease management.

This section publishes research articles, clinical studies, reviews, and case reports related to animal health, veterinary medicine, zoonoses, herd and population management, and emerging scientific developments across domestic, agricultural, and wildlife species.
