Clinics in Virology Research and Reviews

Clinics in Virology Research and Reviews (CVRR) is devoted to the timely dissemination of significant new knowledge about the viruses of animals, archaea, bacteria, fungi, plants, and protozoa. Investigators in all areas of basic virology are invited to submit reports of original research. Original articles should contain experimental observations that address a hypothesis, lead to new concepts, and indicate new directions in research. Computational analyses of viruses and viral components that advance the field are also appropriate. CVRR encourages reports on virus structure and assembly, viral genome replication and regulation of viral gene expression, viral genetic diversity and evolution, virus-cell interactions, cellular responses to viral infection, transformation and oncogenesis, gene delivery, viral pathogenesis and immunity, and vaccines and antiviral agents. Manuscripts contributing new information about virus-host interactions, disease mechanisms, immune responses, and immunopathology are appropriate for CVRR. Manuscripts describing the development, mechanisms of action, and preclinical evaluation of new antiviral vaccines and therapeutics are also appropriate for CVRR. The editors seek to promote the publication of research that enhances an understanding of the virus-cell and virus-organism interface. CVRR encourages the submission of manuscripts describing studies in which viruses or viral genetic elements are used as components of vectors for the delivery of therapeutic genes into animals and plants. These original articles should contain experimental observations that lead to new concepts and understanding relevant to gene delivery, regulated expression of therapeutic genes, or viral pathogenesis.
