INFECTION AND IMMUNITY

Infection and Immunity covers a broad range of topics important to microbiologists, immunologists, epidemiologists, pathologists, and clinicians. Areas of interest include infections caused by pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and parasites; mechanisms of pathogenicity and virulence factors such as toxins and microbial surface structures; factors involved in host resistance, inflammation, and susceptibility to infection; immunology of microbial infection; and development and evaluation of vaccines against pathogens.

感染和免疫涵盖了对微生物学家、免疫学家、流行病学家、病理学家和临床医生很重要的广泛的主题。感兴趣的领域包括致病菌、真菌和寄生虫引起的感染;毒素和微生物表面结构等致病性和毒力因素的机理;与宿主耐药性、炎症和感染易感性有关的因素;微生物感染免疫学;以及病原体疫苗的开发和评估。
