The journal will publish papers on infectious disease dynamics in the broadest sense. Its scope covers both within-host dynamics of infectious
agents and dynamics at the population level, particularly the interaction between the two. Areas of emphasis includce: spread, transmission,
persistence, implications and population dynamics of infectious diseases; population and public health as well as policy aspects of control
and prevention; dynamics at the individual level; interaction with the environment, ecology and evolution of infectious diseases, as
well as the population genetics and molecular evolution of infectious agents.
The journal will only publish papers that use high
quality novel or published data in their analysis. Successful manuscripts are typically multidisciplinary and integrative. Papers of
a more theoretical or methodological nature which do not contain significant data-analysis, will be considered if they represent a major
conceptual advance of practical or scientific interest. Purely mathematical papers without such broader relevance will not be appropriate
for the journal.
Aside from original research and reviews the journal will also publish short essays (between 300 and 800 words)
as well as editorials.
Each paper should include a short commentary as to why this paper has relevance to public health / clinical
aspects / policy. These commentaries will be drafted by the author, checked by the editors, and published alongside each paper. Combined
commentaries will be published as an overview in each issue.
