Virulence publishes open access peer-reviewed research on microbial pathogenicity, the infection process and host-pathogen interactions.
Virulence brings together scientists and clinical researchers to address new infectious challenges, emerging infectious agents and antimicrobial resistance. The journal publishes research on the following topics:
- Microbial pathogenicity–viruses (including HIV/AIDS), bacteria, fungi, and parasites
- Molecular and biological function of established and novel virulence factors
- Identification, development and study of antimicrobial agents
- Host-pathogen and pathogen-pathogen interactions
- Host response to infection and immune responses to inhibitors, toxins, and other virulence factors
- Mammalian, other vertebrate as well as invertebrate model organisms and hosts
- Clinical trials evaluating all aspects of the infection process
- Microbiome
- Vaccine development and evaluation
- Diagnosis of infectious diseases
Virulence accepts original research, narrative reviews, systematic reviews, protocols and perspectives.
The journal operates a single anonymized peer review policy.
