Articles on Vector Borne and Zoonotic Diseases Available to Optimize Understanding and Research of the H1N1 Virus and Epidemic

New Rochelle, NY—To facilitate continued multidisciplinary investigation and research into swine flu and other zoonotic diseases, Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases (http://www.liebertpub.com/vbz)  will provide complimentary online access to all articles in the journal through the end of May.  The outbreak of swine flu illustrates the danger of zoonoses – diseases caused by agents that infect both humans and other animals.  The Journal publishes the latest research articles and examines geographic, seasonal, and other risk factors that influence the transmission, diagnosis, management, and prevention of zoonotic diseases which pose a threat to public health worldwide.

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases is a peer-reviewed journal published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. and the official journal of Society for Zoonotic Ecology and Epidemiology (SocZEE).

“It is urgent to have a multidisciplinary approach to research on swine flu, (H1N1),” said Mary Ann Liebert, president and CEO of Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. “Many serious diseases, such as swine flu and avian flu, are so defined.  To fully advance understanding of these viruses, and others that may emerge, will best enable research to provide defenses against transmission, and the development of vaccines and therapeutics. The journal, Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, has an important role in accomplishing this mission.  It is imperative to foster and prompt collaboration to address zoonotic diseases, those that are formally found in vertebrate animals and can be transmitted to humans.”
