Epidemics

流行病发表关于最广义传染病动态的论文。它的范围既包括宿主内感染因子的动态，也包括种群水平的动态，特别是两者之间的相互作用。重点领域包括:传染病的传播、传播、持续、影响和人口动态;人口与公共卫生以及控制和预防的政策方面;个人层面的动态;与环境、生态和传染病进化的相互作用，以及传染病病原的种群遗传学。该杂志将只发表使用高质量的小说或发表的数据进行分析的论文。成功的手稿通常是多学科和综合性的。只有当方法学手稿呈现出清晰和相关的生物学应用，并从中获得新颖的见解时，方法学手稿才会被接受。

Epidemics publishes 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 include: 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 population genetics 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. Methodological manuscripts are only acceptable if they present a clear and relevant biological application for which novel insight is gained.
