Aims & Scope

Pathogens (ISSN 2076-0817) publishes reviews, regular research papers and short notes on all aspects of pathogens and pathogen-host interactions. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental and/or methodical details must be provided for research articles. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed, computed data or files regarding the full details of the experimental procedure, if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material. Subject Areas include but are not limited to: identification and characterization of pathogens, pathogen invasion and host defenses, transmission of pathogens, pathogen genetics and genomics, pathogen lifecycle, host adaptation, pathogen Inactivation, innate and adaptive immune responses, molecular mechanisms of host-pathogen interaction, vaccine and therapeutic development, immune defense mechanisms, veterinary infections, cell signalling effects, vectorology.
