摘要

Welcome to the World Journal of Virology(WJV),a new member of the World Journal Series.The World Journal Series was first launched as a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering aspects of research,diagnostics and clinical practice in biomedicine in 1995.WJV is an online and open-access peer-reviewed periodical focusing on virology.WJV covers a variety of topics in different areas of virology,including advances in basic research,updates in nomenclature,the development of novel diagnostic assays,the epidemiology of viral disorders and,new developments in the clinical management of viral diseases,including new vaccines and antiviral therapeutics.The purpose in launching the WJV is to promote knowledge exchange related to the classic human viruses as well as newly emerging viruses and their associated clinical disorders.Continually updating knowledge in a timely manner in this field where information related to the unceasing evolution of viruses is becoming available at a rapid pace is challenging.Thanks to the World-Wide-Web we are able to provide a podium for all authors and readers of WJV to address this challenge.I would like to acknowledge the Baishideng publisher,the members of the editorial board,and all contributing authors involved in this inaugural issue of the WJV.I sincerely hope all readers,i.e.future contributing authors,will like WJV and we look forward to your input in assisting WJV to grow and mature.
