Journal of Virological Methods

Covering methodology and basic science

The Journal of Virological Methods focuses on original, high quality research papers that describe novel and comprehensively tested methods which enhance human, animal, plant, bacterial or environmental virology and prions research and discovery.

The methods may include, but not limited to, the study of:

Viral components and morphology

Virus isolation, propagation and development of viral vectors

Viral pathogenesis, oncogenesis, vaccines and antivirals

Virus replication, host-pathogen interactions and responses

Virus transmission, prevention, control and treatment

Viral metagenomics and virome

Virus ecology, adaption and evolution

Applied virology such as nanotechnology

Viral diagnosis with novelty and comprehensive evaluation

We seek articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and laboratory protocols that include comprehensive technical details with statistical confirmations that provide validations against current best practice, international standards or quality assurance programs and which advance knowledge in virology leading to improved medical, veterinary or agricultural practices and management.
