History

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms (DAO) is international and interdisciplinary. The journal was founded and is managed by Professor Otto Kinne. It publishes Research articles, Reviews, and Notes, as well as Comments/Reply Comments (for details see DAO 48:161), Theme sections and As I See It (for details consult Guidelines for DAO Authors) covering all forms of life - animals, plants and microorganisms - in marine, limnetic and brackish habitats.

Editors, Review Editors and a large number of Anonymous Referees - all internationally acknowledged experts - assure constructive, fair and prompt peer reviews, and a critical selection of high-quality papers

Top journal

DAO is the leading journal in its field.

Aim

Diseases affect all facets of life - at the cell, tissue, organ, individual, population and ecosystem level. Since life originated in an aquatic medium, studies of disease phenomena in the wide array of aquatic taxa contribute significantly to the analysis, comprehension, prevention and treatment of diseases in general, i.e., also those of organisms now inhabiting terrestrial environments including Homo sapiens. DAO aims to cover all these important research areas.

Scope

  • Diseases caused by coexisting organsims, e.g. viruses, bacteria, fungi, protistans, metazoans; characterization of pathogens
  • Diseases caused by abiotic factors (critical intensities of environmental properties, including pollution)
  • Diseases due to internal circumstances (innate, idiopathic, genetic)
  • Diseases due to proliferative disorders (neoplasms)
  • Disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention
  • Molecular aspects of diseases
  • Nutritional disorders
  • Stress and physical injuries
  • Epidemiology/epizootiology
  • Toxicology
  • Diseases of aquatic organsims affecting human health and wellbeing
  • Diseases as indicators of humanity's detrimental impact on nature
  • Genomics, proteomics and metabonomics of disease
  • Immunology and disease prevention
  • Animal welfare

Readership

Physicians, veterinarians, environmental biologists, fishery biologists and ecologists, aquaculturalists, pathologists, parasitologists, microbiologists, botanists, zoologists. DAO is an indispensable source of information for all concerned with health of humans, animals, plants and microorganisms; environmental protection; resource management; ecosystem health; conservation of organisms and habitats; aquafood production

Conflicts of Interest

Authors, Reviewers and Editors must disclose relationships (e.g. financial, economic, institutional) that may affect the integrity of the scientific process.
