Aims and Scope
Veterinary Research is an open access journal that publishes high-quality and novel research and review articles focusing on all aspects of infectious diseases and host-pathogen interactions in animals.
The journal covers studies involving:
Farmed animals, including equines, and companion animals
Wild animals, when infections are of zoonotic interest and/or related to domestic animals
Laboratory animals and animal models of human infectious diseases
Particular attention is given to zoonotic, emerging, and re-emerging pathogens.
Manuscripts based on in vitro, ex vivo, or organoid models that mimic living tissue and disease processes are also welcome.
A leading open access journal in the field of veterinary science, Veterinary Research is an official journal of the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (INRAE), and the first destination for articles on infectious diseases and host-pathogen interaction in animals.
With an international reputation for disseminating high quality research to a wide-reaching audience, our expert Editorial Board provides rigorous peer review, and particularly welcomes submissions advancing our knowledge of zoonotic and emerging infections.
Carbon-derived nanomaterials, especially carbon dots (CDs), are gaining attention for their distinct physicochemical characteristics and broad-spectrum antiviral capabilities. However, their efficacy against economically critical pathogens like porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), a major threat to swine health-and the molecular pathways involved remain underexplored. Here, we developed innovative proanthocyanidin-based carbon dots (PAC-CDs) to enhance their antiviral efficacy against PRRSV by targeting oxidative stress pathways and suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis via activation of the Nrf2/ARE antioxidant axis.
