Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the study of microbial pathogenesis, including bacterial and parasitic infections, and the host's immune response. Research investigates mechanisms of infection, host-pathogen interactions, and the development of therapeutic strategies. Topics include bacterial transport systems, host immune cell modulation, intracellular parasitic development, vaccine targets, and the role of microbial factors in disease progression. The journal also examines host genetics, immune responses to infection, and the impact of host conditions like diabetes on infection dynamics.
