病毒學(xué)基礎(chǔ)研究的結(jié)果發(fā)布在病毒學(xué)的所有分支,包括病毒的脊椎動(dòng)物和無脊椎動(dòng)物、植物、細(xì)菌、酵母、真菌。該雜志涉及病毒的性質(zhì)、病毒增殖的分子生物學(xué)、分子發(fā)病機(jī)制以及控制和預(yù)防病毒感染的分子方面的文章。所使用的方法和技術(shù)有望涵蓋許多學(xué)科，包括分子遺傳學(xué)、分子生物學(xué)、生物化學(xué)、生物物理、結(jié)構(gòu)生物學(xué)、細(xì)胞生物學(xué)、免疫學(xué)和形態(tài)學(xué)。

Virology publishes the results of basic research in all branches of virology, including the viruses of vertebrates and invertebrates, plants, bacteria, and yeasts/fungi. The journal features articles on the nature of viruses, on the molecular biology of virus multiplication, on molecular pathogenesis, and on molecular aspects of the control and prevention of viral infections. The approaches and techniques used are expected to encompass those of many disciplines, including molecular genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, cell biology, immunology, and morphology.
