Microbes and Infection publishes 15 peer-reviewed issues per year in all fields of infection and immunity, covering the different levels
of host-microbe interactions, and in particular:
- the molecular biology and cell biology of the crosstalk between hosts (human
and experimental animals) and microbes (viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi), including molecular virulence and evasion mechanisms.
- the immune response to infection, including pathogenesis and host susceptibility.
- emerging human infectious diseases.
- molecular
epidemiology/genetics of host pathogen interactions.
- vaccine development, including novel strategies and adjuvants.
Clinical studies,
accounts of clinical trials and biomarker studies in infectious diseases are within the scope of the journal.
Submission of case
reports and veterinary studies is discouraged.
Four special issues a year ("Forums") focus on the present knowledge of a pathogen
and the disease it causes, the immune response in infectious disease or on other critical issues relevant to the scope of the journal.
Up to three reviews on recent progress in the field per issue are commissioned by editors.
The journal is just entering its 10th
year of publication, and Essential Science IndicatorsSM (ESI) states that "Microbes and Infection has had a significant impact in the
field of Immunology." If you are interested in knowing more about the journal's contributions to immunology, you may wish to read the
