Genetics : Viral Diseases

Journal of antivirals & antiretrovirals is one of the best open access journals in the field of virology. The open access policy of the journals mainly aims at increasing the visibility and accessibility of the published quality work and thus providing the desirable researches to the readers. Viruses cannot exist without the support (host) and for survival they need to spread to another host. This is because the original host may either die or eliminate the infection. There are several viruses that have an animal or plant reservoir from where they affect humans. Body’s first line of defense against viruses is innate immune system which is made up of cells and other mechanisms that defend the host from infection. This provides a temporary protection against the viral onslaught. During adaptive immunity the faces the virus and remembers it. This is a more permanent form of immunity that may last a life time against the particular strain of virus. Specific antibodies are produced against the virus. One main reason for the study of viruses is the fact that they cause many infectious diseases, among them the common cold, influenza, rabies, measles, many forms of diarrhea, hepatitis, yellow fever, polio, smallpox and AIDS. Some viruses, known as oncoviruses, contribute to certain forms of cancer. The best studied example is the association between Human papillomavirus and cervical cancer. It is now acknowledged that almost all cases of cervical cancer are caused by certain strains of this sexually transmitted virus. OMICS Group international is the best open access publishers with expert reviewers and renowned scientists in its Editorial Board. Both editors and reviewers actively participate in the peer-review process and help in completing the review process within time. Omics group is now providing an opportunity to authors to share their valuable research on virology across linguistic borders in different languages such as French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and English. By translating scientific paper into the mentioned languages we ensure an efficient exchange of knowledge and scientific experience.
