Tuberculosis

Aims & Scope

Tuberculosis is a speciality journal focusing on basic experimental research on tuberculosis, notably on bacteriological, immunological and pathogenesis aspects of the disease.

The journal publishes original research and reviews on the host response and immunology of tuberculosis and the molecular biology, genetics and physiology of the organism, however discourages submissions with a meta-analytical focus (for example, articles based on searches of published articles in public electronic databases, especially where there is lack of evidence of the personal involvement of authors in the generation of such material).

We do not publish Clinical Case-Studies.

Areas on which submissions are welcomed include: -Clinical TrialsDiagnostics- Antimicrobial resistance- Immunology- Leprosy- Microbiology, including microbial physiology- Molecular epidemiology- Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria- Pathogenesis- Pathology- Vaccine development.

This Journal does not accept case-reports.

The resurgence of interest in tuberculosis has accelerated the pace of relevant research and Tuberculosis has grown with it, as the only journal dedicated to experimental biomedical research in tuberculosis.
