Toxicon

Toxicon is the official journal of the International Society on Toxinology, published by Elsevier. This journal is committed to advancing the field of toxinology by disseminating peer-reviewed manuscripts that present novel findings of broad interest and significance to the toxinology community.

The journals focus on the following key areas:

• original research on toxins derived from animals, plants or microorganisms
• novel findings related to the chemical, pharmacological, toxicological or immunological properties of natural toxins
• molecular biological studies of toxins and related genes from poisonous and venomous organisms that advance understanding of the role or function of toxins
• the use of toxins as tools in studying biological processes
• the translational application of toxins, for example as pharmacological tools, drugs or insecticides
• venom and antivenom issues
• clinical observations on poisoning and envenoming where a new therapeutic principle has been proposed or a decidedly superior clinical result has been obtained
• epidemiological studies on envenoming or poisoning, provided they highlight a previously unrecognized medical problem or provide insight into the prevention or medical treatment of envenoming or poisoning
• prospective community-based surveys
  

The journals publish full-length research papers, short communications, reviews, mini-reviews,  letters to the editor and clinical reports.
