in all areas of biological science, from molecules to ecosystems, including works
at the interface of other disciplines, such as chemistry, medicine, and mathematics.
PLoS Pathogens
From molecules to physiology, PLoS Pathogens publishes important new ideas on bacteria, fungi,
parasites, prions, and viruses that contribute to our understanding of the biology of pathogens
and pathogen–host interactions.
