《病原体与疾病》发表了关于病原体、宿主与病原体相互作用、宿主对感染的反应及其分子和细胞相关性的假设和发现驱动的研究的杰出的初步研究。它涵盖了所有的病原体-真核生物，原核生物，和病毒-并包括人畜共患病病原体和实验翻译应用。
Pathogens and Disease publishes outstanding primary research on hypothesis- and discovery-driven studies on pathogens, host-pathogen interactions, host response to infection and their molecular and cellular correlates. It covers all pathogens – eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and viruses – and includes zoonotic pathogens and experimental translational applications.
