Journal of Virology
Overview
The Journal of Virology is a leading scientific publication dedicated to the study of viruses and viral diseases. It publishes cutting-edge research articles, reviews, and commentaries that explore various aspects of virology, including viral replication, pathogenesis, host-virus interactions, and vaccine development. With its broad scope and rigorous peer-review process, the journal serves as a valuable resource for virologists, microbiologists, immunologists, and other researchers interested in understanding and combating viral infections.
