DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS

DAO publishes Research Articles, Reviews, and Notes, as well as Comments/Reply Comments (for details see DAO 48:161), Theme Sections and Opinion Pieces. For details consult the Guidelines for Authors. Papers may cover all forms of life - animals, plants and microorganisms - in marine, limnetic and brackish habitats. DAO's scope includes any research focusing on diseases in aquatic organisms, specifically:
-Diseases caused by coexisting organisms, 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-
