Retrovirology

Retrovirology is an Open Access, online journal that publishes stringently peer-reviewed, high-impact articles on basic retrovirus research. Retroviruses are pleiotropically found in animals. Well-described examples include avian, murine and primate retroviruses. Two human retroviruses are especially important pathogens. These are the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, and the human T-cell leukemia virus, HTLV. HIV causes AIDS while HTLV-I is the etiological agent for adult T-cell leukemia. There is a large amount of basic research being conducted on HIV and HTLV-I spanning gene expression, virus structure-assembly, integration, replication, and pathogenesis. Retrovirology intends to cover these areas of human and animal retrovirus research. In any given issue of an extant print virology journal, research papers on retroviruses, especially primate retroviruses, make up the largest subcategory of manuscripts. Retroviruses are responsible for many kinds of medically important pathologies including immunodeficiencies and cancers. Hence, there is a large publication demand and a significant research interest for an Open Access journal, which emphasizes basic retrovirus research. The Open Access format is ideally suited for communicating cutting edge information to a large audience quickly.

逆转录病毒是一个开放的访问，在线期刊，发布严格的同行评审，高影响的文章的基本逆转录病毒研究。逆转录病毒是在动物身上发现的。描述良好的例子包括鸟类，小鼠和灵长类动物逆转录病毒。两种人类逆转录病毒是特别重要的病原体。这些是人体免疫缺陷病毒，hiv，和人类t细胞白血病病毒。hiv导致艾滋病，而htlv-i是成人t细胞白血病的病因。目前有大量关于hiv和htlv-i的基础研究，涉及基因表达、病毒结构-组装、整合、复制和发病机制。逆转录病毒的研究包括人类和动物逆转录病毒的研究。在任何一期现存的印刷病毒学杂志上，关于逆转录病毒，特别是灵长类动物逆转录病毒的研究论文，构成了最大的手稿亚类。逆转录病毒对包括免疫缺陷和癌症在内的多种重要疾病负责。因此，开放存取期刊有很大的出版需求和研究兴趣，它强调基本的逆转录病毒研究。这种开放访问格式非常适合快速向广大受众传递尖端信息。
