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
