Journal Title：Infection Genetics And Evolution

(aka Journal of Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases -- MEEGID)

Infectious diseases constitute one of the main challenges to medical science in the coming century. The impressive development of molecular megatechnologies and of bioinformatics have greatly increased our knowledge of the evolution, transmission and pathogenicity of infectious diseases. Research has shown that host susceptibility to many infectious diseases has a genetic basis. Furthermore, much is now known on the molecular epidemiology, evolution and virulence of pathogenic agents, as well as their resistance to drugs, vaccines, and antibiotics. Equally, research on the genetics of disease vectors has greatly improved our understanding of their systematics, has increased our capacity to identify target populations for control or intervention, and has provided detailed information on the mechanisms of insecticide resistance.

However, the genetics and evolutionary biology of hosts, pathogens and vectors have tended to develop as three separate fields of research. This artificial compartmentalisation is of concern due to our growing appreciation of the strong co-evolutionary interactions among hosts, pathogens and vectors.

Infection, Genetics and Evolution and its companion congress [MEEGID](http://www.meegidconference.com/) (for Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of Infectious Diseases) are the main forum acting for the cross-fertilization between evolutionary science and biomedical research on infectious diseases.

Infection, Genetics and Evolution is the only journal that welcomes articles dealing with the genetics and evolutionary biology of hosts, pathogens and vectors, and coevolution processes among them in relation to infection and disease manifestation. All infectious models enter the scope of the journal, including pathogens of humans, animals and plants, either parasites, fungi, bacteria, viruses or prions. The journal welcomes articles dealing with genetics, population genetics, genomics, postgenomics, gene expression, evolutionary biology, population dynamics, mathematical modeling and bioinformatics. We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

（又名《傳染病分子流行病學和進化遺傳學雜志》——MEEGID）

傳染病是未來世紀醫(yī)學科學面臨的主要挑戰(zhàn)之一。分子巨型技術(shù)和生物信息學的迅猛發(fā)展極大地提高了我們對傳染病進化、傳播和致病性的認識。研究表明，宿主對許多傳染病的易感性具有遺傳基礎(chǔ)。此外，現(xiàn)在人們對病原體的分子流行病學、進化和毒力以及它們對藥物、疫苗和抗生素的耐藥性有了更多的了解。同樣，對疾病媒介遺傳學的研究也極大地提高了我們對它們系統(tǒng)學的理解，提高了我們確定控制或干預目標人群的能力，并提供了有關(guān)殺蟲劑耐藥性機制的詳細信息。

然而，宿主、病原體和媒介的遺傳學和進化生物學往往發(fā)展為三個獨立的研究領(lǐng)域。由于我們越來越認識到宿主、病原體和媒介之間強大的共同進化相互作用，這種人為的劃分令人擔憂。

《感染、遺傳學和進化》及其配套會議 [MEEGID](http://www.meegidconference.com/)（傳染病分子流行病學和進化遺傳學）是進化科學與傳染病生物醫(yī)學研究相互交流的主要論壇。

《感染、遺傳學和進化》是唯一一本歡迎發(fā)表有關(guān)宿主、病原體和媒介遺傳學和進化生物學以及它們之間與感染和疾病表現(xiàn)有關(guān)的共同進化過程的文章的期刊。所有感染模型都屬于該期刊的范圍，包括人類、動物和植物的病原體、寄生蟲、真菌、細菌、病毒或朊病毒。本期刊歡迎發(fā)表與遺傳學、群體遺傳學、基因組學、后基因組學、基因表達、進化生物學、種群動態(tài)、數(shù)學建模和生物信息學相關(guān)的文章。我們還為作者提供許多福利，例如免費 PDF、寬松的版權(quán)政策、愛思唯爾出版物的特別折扣等等。請點擊此處了解有關(guān)我們作者服務的更多信息。

Infection Genetics And Evolution創(chuàng)刊于2001年，由Elsevier出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋傳染病學 - 醫(yī)學全領(lǐng)域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細分領(lǐng)域中專業(yè)影響力一般，過審相對較易，如果您文章質(zhì)量佳，選擇此期刊，發(fā)表機率較高。平均審稿速度 約1月 約10.1周，影響因子指數(shù)2.6，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
