VIRUS RESEARCH

Virus Research provides a means of rapid publication for original papers on fundamental research concerning virus structure, replication, and pathogenesis. These include reports describing virus morphology, the function and antigenic analysis of virus structural components, virus genome structure and expression, analysis of virus replication processes, effects of viruses on their host cells, including oncogene activation and transduction, neoplastic transformation, and the pathogenesis of virus infections including tumour induction. The journal also publishes review articles on topics of current interest and occasional book reviews and meeting reports.

病毒研究为有关病毒结构、复制和发病机制的基础研究的原始论文提供了一种快速出版的手段。这些报告包括描述病毒形态、病毒结构成分的功能和抗原分析、病毒基因组结构和表达、病毒复制过程分析、病毒对宿主细胞的影响，包括致癌基因激活和转导、肿瘤转化，以及病毒感染的发病机制，包括肿瘤诱导。该杂志还发表关于当前感兴趣的主题的评论文章，偶尔还发表书籍评论和会议报告。
