Antiviral Research publishes full-length original articles, short definitive papers and review articles (one per issue) pertaining to the effective control of virus infections in animals and man as well as in plants or lower organisms. Its scope encompasses: -the mechanism of natural and acquired host resistance against virus infections, including aspecific cellular resistance, interferons, cellular and humoral immunity in virus infections, chemotherapeutics which influence host resistance; -the development of new vaccines or novel forms of serotherapy against viral diseases, including virological characterization of vaccine strains or vaccine preparations; preparation and characterization of antiviral immunoglobulins; safety and efficiency assessment; field trials; -the development of new antiviral chemotherapeutics, including chemistry; in vitro activity; mechanism of action; activity in animal model systems; clinical trials.
