Retrovirology

期刊简介：Retrovirology is an open access, online journal that publishes stringently peer-reviewed, high-impact articles on host-pathogen interactions, fundamental mechanisms of replication, immune defenses, animal models, and clinical science relating to retroviruses. 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-1 is the etiological agent for adult T-cell leukemia and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis. Retrovirology aims to cover comprehensively all aspects of human and animal retrovirus research.

【译文】Retrovirology是一本开放获取的在线期刊，发表经过严格同行评审的高影响力文章，内容涉及宿主-病原体相互作用、复制的基本机制、免疫防御、动物模型以及与逆转录病毒相关的临床科学。逆转录病毒在动物中广泛存在。描述良好的例子包括禽类、小鼠和灵长类逆转录病毒。两种人类逆转录病毒尤为重要。这些是人类免疫缺陷病毒，HIV，以及人类T细胞白血病病毒，HTLV。HIV导致艾滋病，而HTLV-1是成人T细胞白血病和HTLV-1相关脊髓病/热带痉挛性截瘫的病因。Retrovirology旨在全面涵盖人类和动物逆转录病毒研究的各个方面。
