Scope

• The subtitle names the remit plainly, as a journal of microbes and their vectors causing human infections.副标题把范围说得很直白，即引起人类感染的微生物及其媒介。

• Genetics and computational biology round out the list of welcome approaches.遗传学与计算生物学补足了受欢迎的方法清单。

• Priority goes to manuscripts that report novel mechanisms, new findings or fresh data analysis rather than confirmations.优先考虑报告新机制，新发现或新数据分析的稿件，而非重复确认。

• Every article must state the question it answers, the hypothesis behind it and the contribution it makes.每篇文章都须写明所回答的问题，背后的假设以及作出的贡献。
