Aim and Scope
Immunology and Microbiology is a multidisciplinary journal aimed at providing insight into the study of microbes and the host immune, biological and physiological responses, and therapeutics.
The need for effective cure to infectious microorganisms has brought the fields of Immunology and Microbiology together. Immunology and Microbiology publishes recent developments in the basic, experimental and applied research in these areas, which would enhance our understanding of viral and bacterial pathogenesis, infectious disease etiology, immunological response of the host, infectious disease prognosis, therapeutics & treatment options and procedures. The journal covers research topics including general microbiology, immunology, and host-pathogen interactions in addition to both fundamental and clinical aspects of virology, bacteriology, mycology, parasitology and immunology. The journal aims to cater for the increasing requirement of systematic research based information among pathologists, clinicians and health care professionals.
Subjects covered by Immunology and Microbiology include but are not limited to:
Non-classical models of immunity and functions of cells
Basic, translational and clinical immunology
Classical and Developmental immunology
