Frontiers in Virology

Aims & Scope

Frontiers in Virology is a multidisciplinary journal, indexed in the DOAJ and Web of Science (ESCI), that covers all aspects of viruses at the biological and molecular levels.

Led by Field Chief Editor Akio Adachi (Tokushima University, Japan), the journal explores developments in novel technologies, methodologies, and analytical systems for studies in virology.

With a focus on innovative investigative and analytical systems, Frontiers in Virology explores all biological and molecular aspects of viruses and their interactions with their hosts.

Key scientific issues in this journal include, but are not limited to: • antivirals and vaccines • emerging and reemerging viruses • innate and acquired immunity against viruses • pathophysiology of viral diseases • structural and functional biology of viral proteins/genomes • virus-cell interactions • viral diversification in host/host populations • virus intracellular movement and transit between cells • viral pathogenesis • virus replication strategies • virus utilization for practical purposes.

Frontiers in Virology accepts submissions that target and analyze viruses, by various investigation systems, of all categories and classifications.

Manuscripts on subviral entities such as prions, viroids, and endogenous sequences are also encouraged for submission.
