Virology publishes papers that provide advances to the understanding of virus biology. We have been publishing the results of basic research in all branches of virology for over 60 years. The journal welcomes submitted articles on virus replication, virus-host biology, viral pathogenesis, immunity to viruses, virus structure, and virus evolution and ecology. Articles should be of broad interest to the community of virologists. We also publish state-of-the-art invited reviews from experts in the field.

Ducks, gulls and shorebirds represent the major hosts of influenza A viruses (IAVs) in nature, but distinctions of IAVs in different birds are not well defined. Here we characterized the receptor specificity of gull IAVs with HA subtypes H4, H6, H14, H13 and H16 using synthetic sialylglycopolymers. In contrast to duck IAVs, gull IAVs efficiently bound to fucosylated receptors and often preferred sulfated...
Immunity against Marek's disease (MD), caused by Gallid herpesvirus 2 (GaHV-2), in chickens is mediated by both innate and adaptive responses. The present study evaluated the effects of GaHV-2 infection on distribution and frequency of γδ T cells in tissues, as well as their expression of cytokines. We found that the infected chickens had significantly higher number of γδ T cells in their spleens...
Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) is a functional receptor for human hepatitis B virus (HBV) and its satellite virus Hepatitis D virus (HDV). Physiologically, NTCP is responsible for the majority of sodium-dependent bile acids uptake by hepatocytes. The p.Ser267Phe (S267F) variant of NTCP is a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) previously found to cause substantial loss of ability...
