正如标题所示，国际病毒学涵盖了基础和临床病毒研究的进展，旨在为病毒学各学科之间提供一个交流的论坛。发表原始论文的问题与主题问题交替，集中在一个明确定义的主题，基础或医学病毒学。这种专题集中有助于及时审查、研究报告和争论，使该领域的专家和那些想了解自己感兴趣领域之外的最新发展的人都能容易地查阅到。研究范围包括动物病毒的分子生物学、基因组的组织和调控以及病毒蛋白的结构和功能。讨论了病毒性疾病的发病机制、免疫学、诊断和预防，并对朊病毒和类病毒等类病毒制剂进行了讨论。

As its title suggests, ?Intervirologyí covers progress in both basic and clinical virus research, and aims to provide a forum of exchange among the various disciplines within virology. Issues publishing original papers alternate with thematic issues, focusing on one clearly defined topic of basic or medical virology. This thematic concentration serves to make timely reviews, research reports and controversy easily accessible to both specialists in the field and those who want to keep track of the latest developments outside their own area of interest. The scope encompasses work on the molecular biology of animal viruses, including genome organization and regulation, and the structure and function of viral proteins. The pathogenesis, immunology, diagnosis and prophylaxis of viral diseases are discussed, with attention also given to virus-like agents such as prions and viroids.
