What's new in Virulence?
Special Focus Reviews in 2012
This year we plan to publish several Special Foci on timely and interesting topics relevant to host-pathogen interactions. The appearance of your research paper in the context of a series of Reviews written by experts in the field will increase its visibility and round out these special issues. Please contact the Editor-in-Chief with suggestions for future Special Foci.
New Feature: Commenting on Papers
We are pleased to announce that Virulence now allows commenting on papers. This new feature has the potential to further enhance communication and interactions between researchers working on microbial pathogenicity, the infection process and host-pathogen interactions. Selected Reviews, Research papers and Commentaries published in Virulence are open for your comments. You do not need a subscription to post comments, only a very brief one-time registration is required. We look forward to receiving your comments!
