Reviews in Medical Virology

Aims & Scope

Virologists are acquisitive investigators who wish to apply the latest scientific developments to their own work.

The aim of Reviews in Medical Virology is therefore to provide them with articles reviewing conceptual or technological advances in diverse areas of virology.

Topics covered will include the molecular biology, cell biology, replication, pathogenesis, immunology, immunization, epidemiology, diagnosis or treatment of viruses of medical importance.
