Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz

Aims & Scope

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz is a journal specialized in microbes & their vectors causing human infections.

This means that we accept manuscripts covering multidisciplinary approaches and findings in the basic aspects of infectious diseases, e.g. basic in research in prokariotes, eukaryotes, and/or virus.

Articles must clearly show what is the main question to be answered, the hypothesis raised, and the contribution given by the study.

Priority is given to manuscripts reporting novel mechanisms and general findings concerning the biology of human infectious prokariotes, eukariotes or virus.

Papers reporting innovative methods for diagnostics or that advance the basic research with these infectious agents are also welcome.

It is important to mention what we do not publish: veterinary infectious agents research, taxonomic analysis and re-description of species, epidemiological studies or surveys or case reports and data re-analysis.

Manuscripts that fall in these cases or that are considered of low priority by the journal editorial board, will be returned to the author(s) for submission to another journal.
