Aims & Scope
Retrovirology is an open access, online journal that publishes stringently peer-reviewed, high-impact articles on host-pathogen interactions, fundamental mechanisms of replication, immune defenses, animal models, and clinical science relating to retroviruses.
Retroviruses are pleiotropically found in animals.
Well-described examples include avian, murine and primate retroviruses.
Two human retroviruses are especially important pathogens.
These are the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, and the human T-cell leukemia virus, HTLV.
HIV causes AIDS while HTLV-1 is the etiological agent for adult T-cell leukemia and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis.
Retrovirology aims to cover comprehensively all aspects of human and animal retrovirus research.
