Welcome to BMC Veterinary Research published by BioMed Central
BMC Veterinary Research is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of veterinary science and medicine, including the epidemiology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of medical conditions of domestic, companion, farm and wild animals, as well as the biomedical processes that underlie their health.
BMC Veterinary Research (ISSN 1746-6148) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, CAS, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.

Post-mortems have revealed atypical scrapie in three elderly sheep from a supposedly scrapie-free UK research flock founded from New Zealand imports, suggesting that atypical scrapie can arise spontaneously in flocks free of classical scrapie.
BMC Veterinary Research 2008, 4 :53
Current diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease can be costly and time consuming but recently developed real-time reverse-transcriptase PCR methods are shown to be fast and reliable, under field conditions in Brazil.
