Infection, Genetics and Evolution

Infection, Genetics and Evolution

Infection, Genetics and Evolution is a scientific journal that focuses on the interplay between infectious diseases, genetics, and evolutionary biology. The journal publishes research articles, reviews, and other scholarly content that explore how genetic and evolutionary processes influence the emergence, spread, and control of infectious diseases.

Scope

The scope of Infection, Genetics and Evolution encompasses a wide range of topics at the intersection of infectious disease research and evolutionary biology. This includes studies on the genetic diversity of pathogens, the evolution of drug resistance, host-pathogen interactions, and the role of genetic factors in disease susceptibility and transmission.

History

Infection, Genetics and Evolution was established to provide a platform for researchers working at the crossroads of infectious disease and evolutionary genetics. The journal has grown to become a respected source of information in the fields of microbiology, virology, parasitology, and evolutionary biology.

Editorial Policies
