The Journal of Virological Methods publishes original papers and invited reviews covering techniques on all aspects of virology. These include methods for studying the morphology, assembly, replication, composition, function and physiochemical properties of viruses and their components; the purification of viruses and their components; cultivation; properties of viral antigens, production of antibody, and techniques for studying the immune response to virions, viral subunits, and components; the detection and identification of viruses and viral infections; assay of viruses and viral infectivity and the investigation of transmission and pathogenicity; and methods for investigating the suppression or inhibition of viral growth.
