Letters in applied microbiology style

edited December 18, 2017
Hi everyone,

i would like to know if there is a style that meets journal's style. I haven't found one that is similar when searching for "harvard" in Zotero's style library. Here are the editor's instructions:

The Harvard system should be used. Citation of references having three or more names should be cited in the text as Jones et al. (1992) at the first and subsequent times of quoting the reference. A series of references should be given in ascending date order (Green and Smith 1946; Jones et al. 1956). Names with the prefixes de, do van, von, etc. will be placed in alphabetical order of the first letter of the prefix, e.g. von Braun would appear under 'V'. Different publications having the same author(s) and year will be distinguished by, for example, 1992a, 1992b. Papers or other publications having no obvious author(s) should usually be cited as 'Anon.' with the year in the text and bibliography. Web sites should be quoted in the text with an access date. Abbreviate journal titles according to Index Medicus (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/tsd/serials/terms_cond.html). Personal communications should be cited in the text with initials and family name of all individuals.

The following is an example of order and style to be used in the manuscript:

Fricker, C.R. (1995) Detection of Cryptosporidium and Giardia in water. In Protozoan Parasites in Water ed. Betts, W.B., Casemore, D., Fricker, C.R., Smith, H.V. and Watkins, J. pp.91-96. London: The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Garner, J.S. and Favero, M.S. (1985) Guidelines for Handwashing and Hospital Environment Control. US Public Health Service, Centers for Disease Control HHS No. 99-117. Washington DC: Government Printing Office.

Laverick, M.A., Wyn-Jones, A.P. and Carter, M.J. (2004) Quantitative RT-PCR for the enumeration of noroviruses (Norwalk-like viruses) in water and sewage. Lett Appl Microbiol 39, 127-135.

Note that the volume number from the last line (39) should be bolded.

Thanks in advance =)
