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.
