It aims to publish papers reporting original results of fundamental and applied research mainly on human, animal and plant viruses at the cellular and molecular level. As a matter of tradition, also rickettsiae are included. Areas of interest are virus structure and morphology, molecular biology of virus-cell interactions, molecular genetics of viruses, pathogenesis of viral diseases, viral immunology, vaccines, antiviral drugs and viral diagnostics. Original experimental papers may have the form of full-length articles, short communications or letters to the editor.
