It covers microbiology, host-pathogen interaction and immunology related to infectious agents, including bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa. It also accepts papers in the field of clinical microbiology, with the exception of case reports.

Research Areas Include:

Pathogenesis

Virulence factors

Host susceptibility or resistance

Immune mechanisms

Identification, cloning and sequencing of relevant genes

Genetic studies

Viruses, prokaryotic organisms and protozoa

Microbiota

Systems biology related to infectious diseases

Targets for vaccine design (pre-clinical studies)
