Medical Microbiology and Immunology (MMIM) publishes key findings on all aspects of the interrelationship between infectious agents and the immune system of their hosts. The journal´s main focus is original research work on intrinsic| innate or adaptive immune responses to viral| bacterial| fungal and parasitic (protozoan and helminthic) infections and on the virulence of the respective infectious pathogens. MMIM covers basic| translational as well as clinical research in infectious diseases and infectious disease immunology. Basic research using cell cultures| organoid| and animal models are welcome| provided that the models have a clinical correlate and address a relevant medical question. The journal also considers manuscripts on the epidemiology of infectious diseases| including the emergence and epidemic spreading of pathogens and the development of resistance to anti-infective therapies| and on novel vaccines and other innovative measurements of prevention. The following categories of manuscripts will not be considered for publication in MMIM: submissions of preliminary work| of merely descriptive data sets without investigation of mechanisms or of limited global interest| manuscripts on existing or novel anti-infective compounds| which focus on pharmaceutical or pharmacological aspects of the drugs| manuscripts on existing or modified vaccines| unless they report on experimental or clinical efficacy studies or provide new immunological information on their mode of action| manuscripts on the diagnostics of infectious diseases| unless they offer a novel concept to solve a pending diagnostic problem| case reports or case series| unless they are embedded in a study that focuses on the anti-infectious immune response and/or on the virulence of a pathogen.
