Virulence

毒性是一个完全开放的同行评议期刊。所有文章(如果被接受)将提供给任何人阅读任何地方，在任何时间立即出版。毒性是第一个国际同行评审期刊的专门针对微生物致病性,感染宿主-病原体相互作用过程和。为了应对新的传染病挑战、新出现的传染病病原体和抗菌素耐药性，显然需要跨学科的研究。对毒性感兴趣的主题包括:微生物致病性-病毒(包括艾滋病毒)、细菌、真菌和寄生虫已建立的和新的毒力因子的分子和生物学功能抗菌药物的鉴定、开发和研究艾滋病毒/艾滋病宿主-病原体和病原体-病原体相互作用宿主对感染的反应以及对抑制剂、毒素和其他毒性因子的免疫反应哺乳动物、其他脊椎动物以及无脊椎动物的模型生物和宿主临床试验评估感染过程的各个方面微生物组生物恐怖分子研究疫苗研制及评估传染病诊断在资源有限的环境中感染毒性发布四个一般类型的文件:原始研究评论(包括叙事性和系统性)协议观点毒力汇集了研究“病原体”、“宿主”或“抗菌药物”的科学家和临床研究人员。作为一个多学科的开放获取期刊，所有的文章都是任何人在任何时间、任何地点、发表后立即可以阅读的。

Virulence is a fully open access peer-reviewed journal. All articles will (if accepted) be available for anyone to read anywhere, at any time immediately on publication.Virulence is the first international peer-reviewed journal of its kind to focus exclusively on microbial pathogenicity, the infection process and host-pathogen interactions. To address the new infectious challenges, emerging infectious agents and antimicrobial resistance, there is a clear need for interdisciplinary research.Topics of interest to Virulence include:Microbial pathogenicity–viruses (including HIV), bacteria, fungi, and parasitesMolecular and biological function of established and novel virulence factorsIdentification, development and study of antimicrobial agentsHIV/AIDSHost-pathogen and pathogen-pathogen interactionsHost response to infection and immune responses to inhibitors, toxins, and other virulence factorsMammalian, other vertebrate as well as invertebrate model organisms and hostsClinical trials evaluating all aspects of the infection processMicrobiomeResearch on bio-terrorism agentsVaccine development and evaluationDiagnosis of infectious diseasesInfections in resource-limited settingsVirulence publishes four general types of papers: Original ResearchReviews (both narrative and systematic)ProtocolsPerpectivesVirulence brings together scientists and clinical researchers working on the 'pathogen,' the 'host' or the 'antimicrobial agents.' As a multi-disciplinary open access journal, all articles are available for anyone to read anywhere, at any time, immediately on publication.
