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.

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

然而，宿主、病原體和媒介的遺傳學(xué)和進(jìn)化生物學(xué)往往發(fā)展為三個(gè)獨(dú)立的研究領(lǐng)域。由于我們?cè)絹?lái)越認(rèn)識(shí)到宿主、病原體和媒介之間強(qiáng)大的共同進(jìn)化相互作用，這種人為的劃分令人擔(dān)憂。
