MICROBES AND INFECTION

Microbes and Infection publishes 10 peer-reviewed issues per year in all fields of infection and immunity, covering the different levels of host-microbe interactions, and in particular:the molecular biology and cell biology of the crosstalk between hosts (human and model organisms) and microbes (viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi), including molecular virulence and evasion mechanisms.the immune response to infection, including pathogenesis and host susceptibility.emerging human infectious diseases.systems immunology.molecular epidemiology/genetics of host pathogen interactions.microbiota and host "interactions".vaccine development, including novel strategies and adjuvants.Clinical studies, accounts of clinical trials and biomarker studies in infectious diseases are within the scope of the journal.Microbes and Infection publishes articles on human pathogens or pathogens of model systems. However, articles on other microbes can be published if they contribute to our understanding of basic mechanisms of host-pathogen interactions. Purely descriptive and preliminary studies are discouraged.Reviews on recent progress in the field are commissioned by editors.Special issues focus on the present knowledge of a virulent microbe and the disease it causes, the immune response in infectious disease, or on critical issues relevant to the scope of the journal.

《微生物与感染》每年在所有感染和免疫领域出版10期同行评议的期刊，涵盖宿主与微生物相互作用的不同水平，特别是:宿主(人类和模型生物)和微生物(病毒、细菌、寄生虫和真菌)之间的相互作用的分子生物学和细胞生物学，包括分子毒性和逃避机制。对感染的免疫反应，包括发病机制和宿主易感性。新出现的人类传染病。系统免疫学。宿主病原体相互作用的分子流行病学/遗传学。微生物群与宿主的“互动”。疫苗开发，包括新策略和佐剂。在传染病的临床研究，临床试验的帐户和生物标志物的研究范围内的杂志。微生物与感染发表关于人类病原体或模型系统病原体的文章。然而，如果其他微生物有助于我们理解宿主与病原体相互作用的基本机制，那么就可以发表关于其他微生物的文章。不鼓励进行纯描述性和初步研究。编辑们委托对该领域最近的进展进行审查。特刊关注目前对一种有毒微生物及其引起的疾病的知识，传染病中的免疫反应，或与该杂志范围相关的关键问题。
