COMPARATIVE IMMUNOLOGY, MICROBIOLOGY &
INFECTIOUS DISEASES
Editor-in-Chief: Charles Pilet
There is a tendency for physicians and veterinarians interested in
Immunology, Immunopathology, Microbiology and Infectious
Diseases to publish in specialist journals on human or animal
medicine. Consequently they are often unaware of each others
problems. Yet is widely recognized that interdisciplinary
cooperation between specialists in human and animal medicine is
of interest and benefit to each. Comparative Immunology,
Microbiology & Infectious Diseases fills the gap between these
two branches of medicine and enables fruitful dialogues to take
place

INFECTION, GENETICS AND EVOLUTION
Journal of Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics of

Editor-in-Chief: Michel Tibayrenc
the genetics 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 coevolutionary interactions among
hosts, pathogens and vectors. It is therefore highly desirable to
develop a unified synthetic approach: the "Integrated Genetic
Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases" (IGEID). This will involve
evaluation of the respective impact of genetic diversity of hosts,
pathogens and vectors on the transmission and severity of
infectious diseases, as well as their coevolutionary interactions.

Pathogen genome sequencing projects have provided a wealth of
data that need to be set in context to pathogenicity and the
outcome of infections. In addition, the interplay between a
pathogen and its host cell has become increasingly important to
understand and interfere with diseases caused by microbial
pathogens. IJMM meets these needs by focusing on genome and
proteome analyses, studies dealing with the molecular
mechanisms of pathogenicity and the evolution of pathogenic
agents, the interactions between pathogens and host cells
("cellular microbiology"), and molecular epidemiology.
