The following guidelines should be followed during manuscript preparation:
All articles should be submitted in United States English. Always use concise and impersonal language. Footnotes should be placed at the bottom of the corresponding page and numbered with Arabic numerals in an ascending order. All manuscripts should be typed in Times New Roman font, size 12, page setup with 2.5-cm top and bottom margins, 3-cm left and right margins, and 1.5-cm line spacing. All pages should be numbered. Full Articles should be structured as follows: Original Title (english), Translated Title (portuguese), Short Title (english), Author(s), Affiliations, Abstract (Keywords) (english), Resumo (Palavras-chave) (portuguese), Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions (or a combination of the last three), Acknowledgements (optional), and References. All tables and illustrations should be presented separately from the main text body and attached to the final manuscript without captions. The related captions should be included in the text after the References. Short Communications should follow the same structure as described above, but they can be presented as a continuous stream of text without the need to include headings. Short Communications should be concise and limited to 4,000 words, and can include up to 3 figures or tables, combined. Not more than 25 references should be cited.
Description of each item of the manuscript
Original title
The full title and subtitle, if any, should not exceed 20 words. The title should not include any abbreviations, and species names and Latin words should be italicized. Titles that start with “Preliminary studies,” “Notes about,” and the like should be avoided. Do not use the author’s name and date of citation in scientific names.
Author(s)/Affiliations
List all authors’ full name (with no abbreviations). Affiliations should include the original institution names, not their English translations, in the following order: laboratory, department, college or school, institute, university, city, state and country. Include at the bottom of the page the corresponding author information: full address, telephone number, current e-mail and ORCID, in that order.
Abstract
Abstracts are limited to 200 words and should be structured in a single paragraph with no indentation. The abstract should not include references. Acronyms or abbreviations should be written out in full and the abbreviation given in brackets the first time they are used in abstract, for example, indirect fluorescence assay (IFA). The abstract should be informative and present the objectives, a brief description of methods, the main results, and a conclusion. All manuscripts written in English should also have the abstract and keywords written in Portuguese.
Keywords
Keywords should accurately reflect the text content. Limited to a maximum of 6 (six), and separated by comma.
Introduction
Should have a clear and concise justification of the study including its relevance and objectives and should keep the number of citations to a minimum.
Materials and Methods
A concise description including core information for the understanding and reproduction of the study. Well-established methods and techniques should be cited and referenced but not described. Statistical analyses should be described at the end of the section.
Results
The content of this section should be informative rather than interpretative. The results should be accompanied by self-explanatory tables, figures, or other illustrations if necessary.
Discussion
Its content should be interpretative and based on the study results only. The discussion can be a single section or it can be presented together with the results and conclusions. It should emphasize the relevance of new findings and new hypotheses clearly supported by the results.
Conclusions
All conclusions may be presented in the Discussion section or in the Results and the Discussion sections when presented together, at the authors’ choice. If this is the case, there is no need for a separate Conclusions section.
Acknowledgments
Should be limited to a minimum.
References
Citations
All citations must follow the author–date system:
One author: author’s name and year of publication
Levine (1985) or (Levine, 1985)
Two authors: authors’ names and year of publication
Paim & Souza (2011) or (Paim & Souza, 2011)
Three or more authors: first author’s name followed by et al. and year of publication
Araújo et al. (2002) or (Araújo et al., 2002)
References will only be accepted if they are reader-friendly. If it proves difficult for the RBPV to access these references, the authors may be asked to supply the material. If these references are unavailable, they will have to be removed from the text. References of papers published in conference proceedings will not be accepted and theses only if they are available for consultation at official websites such as the CAPES thesis bank. All cited references in the text should be carefully checked for the authors’ names and dates exactly as they appear in the reference section. References should be listed alphabetically and then sorted chronologically, if necessary. More than one reference by the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters “a,” “b,” “c,” etc., placed after the year of publication. Titles of journals should be abbreviated according to Index Medicus.
In the Reference section, all authors should be listed up to a limit of six authors. If more than six authors, the first six authors should be listed followed by et al.:

Tables
They should have horizontal rules separating the header and the last row. The word “Table” should precede the table title. Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and have a concise and descriptive title placed above them. The number of tables in the manuscript should be limited to a minimum.
Figures
Figures consist of drawings, photographs, boards, charts, flow charts, and diagrams and should be supplied in .tif, .eps or .pdf format with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. Only figures of high quality will be accepted. They should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and the word “Figure” should precede the legend placed below them. List all numbered legends with their symbols and standard icons in a separate file with double spacing. Figures should be limited to a minimum. Digital pictures should be supplied in separate files. A graphic bar scale instead of a numerical one should be used in all illustrations, as it can be adjusted with size reduction.
Layout proof
The final layout of the article in PDF format will be provided by email to the corresponding author. Changes to the article accepted for publication will only be considered at this stage if permission from the Editor is granted. The proof must be carefully checked for accuracy as inclusion of subsequent corrections (e.g., a new author, change of paragraphs or tables) cannot be guaranteed.
