Aims and Scope

Infectious (ISSN: 3049-2513), published by Fuzzy Publication, is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing research on infectious diseases, their causative agents, transmission, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and control. The journal provides a multidisciplinary platform for researchers, clinicians, microbiologists, epidemiologists, public health professionals, and healthcare practitioners to disseminate scientific findings and emerging knowledge in infectious disease research.

The journal welcomes original research, systematic and narrative reviews, meta-analyses, case reports, short communications, and other scholarly contributions that enhance understanding of infectious diseases and support improved clinical practice and public health interventions.

Scope

Bacteriology: Research on bacterial pathogens, bacterial diseases, antimicrobial susceptibility, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment.

Virology: Studies on viruses, viral infections, viral pathogenesis, diagnostics, therapeutics, vaccines, and emerging viral diseases.

Mycology: Research on fungal pathogens, fungal infections, antifungal resistance, diagnosis, epidemiology, and treatment.

Parasitology: Studies on parasitic organisms, host–parasite interactions, parasitic diseases, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Microbial Pathogenesis: Research investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms through which infectious agents cause disease and interact with their hosts.

Antimicrobial Resistance: Studies on antibiotic, antiviral, antifungal, and antiparasitic resistance, including mechanisms, surveillance, prevention, and alternative therapeutic strategies.

Infectious Disease Epidemiology: Research on disease distribution, transmission patterns, risk factors, outbreaks, surveillance, and epidemiological modeling.

Emerging and Re-emerging Infections: Studies addressing newly recognized infectious diseases, re-emerging pathogens, zoonotic infections, and threats to global health.

Tropical and Neglected Infectious Diseases: Research on infectious diseases that disproportionately affect tropical and resource-limited regions, including neglected tropical diseases.

Vaccine Research and Immunization: Studies on vaccine development, vaccine effectiveness, immunological responses, vaccination strategies, and immunization programs.

Diagnostic Microbiology: Research on conventional and advanced diagnostic methods, molecular diagnostics, rapid testing, biomarkers, and laboratory identification of infectious agents.

Infectious Disease Therapeutics: Studies of antimicrobial drugs, combination therapies, treatment strategies, drug development, and clinical management of infectious diseases.

Host–Pathogen Interactions: Research examining interactions between infectious agents and host cells, immune responses, virulence mechanisms, and disease progression.

Immunology of Infection: Studies of innate and adaptive immune responses to infectious agents and their implications for disease prevention and treatment.

Hospital and Healthcare-Associated Infections: Research on healthcare-associated infections, infection prevention and control, antimicrobial stewardship, and hospital outbreak management.

Zoonotic and Vector-Borne Diseases: Studies on diseases transmitted between animals and humans, including mosquito-, tick-, and other vector-borne infections.

Food- and Water-Borne Infections: Research on pathogens transmitted through food and water, contamination, outbreaks, prevention, and public health interventions.

Molecular and Genomic Epidemiology: Research using molecular biology, genomics, sequencing, and bioinformatics to investigate pathogen evolution, transmission, outbreaks, and resistance.

Public Health and Infection Control: Studies addressing community prevention, infection control policies, surveillance systems, health education, and public health responses to infectious disease threats.

One Health and Global Infectious Diseases: Interdisciplinary research connecting human, animal, and environmental health to understand and control infectious diseases at local, regional, and global levels.
