Aim & Scope
The Journal of Virology and Vaccination aims to advance scientific knowledge and understanding of viral infections and vaccination strategies through the publication of innovative research and evidence-based practices. The journal encompasses a broad scope of topics related to virology and vaccination, including but not limited to:
- Viral Pathogenesis: Studies investigating the mechanisms underlying viral replication, transmission, and pathogenesis, as well as host-virus interactions and immune responses to viral infections.
- Vaccine Development and Design: Research on the development, design, and evaluation of vaccines against viral pathogens, including traditional vaccines, novel vaccine platforms, and emerging vaccine technologies.
- Epidemiology and Surveillance: Epidemiological studies assessing the prevalence, transmission dynamics, and risk factors associated with viral infections, as well as surveillance efforts to monitor viral outbreaks and epidemics.
- Viral Immunology: Investigations into the immune responses elicited by viral infections and vaccination, including innate and adaptive immune mechanisms, immune evasion strategies employed by viruses, and the development of immune-based therapies.
- Viral Genetics and Evolution: Research on viral genetics, genomics, and evolution, including studies on viral diversity, mutation rates, recombination events, and the emergence of drug-resistant or vaccine-resistant viral strains.
- Clinical Virology: Clinical studies evaluating the diagnosis, treatment, and management of viral infections, as well as the impact of vaccination on disease prevention, control, and eradication efforts.
- Public Health and Policy: Research on public health strategies, policies, and interventions aimed at controlling viral infections, promoting vaccination coverage, and mitigating the impact of viral outbreaks on global health.
- One Health Perspectives: Interdisciplinary research exploring the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health in the context of viral diseases, zoonotic transmission, and cross-species spillover events.
By addressing these key areas of research, the Journal of Virology and Vaccination seeks to advance scientific knowledge, facilitate collaboration and innovation, and contribute to the development of effective strategies for the prevention, control, and management of viral infections through vaccination.
