Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Medical Virology publishes research on viral pathogenesis, replication, and host cellular responses, including the study of viral oncoproteins and their interactions with cellular targets. It also covers the development of antiviral therapies, drug repurposing for viral infections, and the molecular mechanisms of viral entry and tropism. The journal investigates viral epidemiology, seroprevalence, and the genetic evolution of viruses, as well as the role of viruses in causing malignancies and associated host responses. Diagnostic methods for viral infections and the impact of viral infections on public health are also featured.
