PLOS Pathogens
PLOS Pathogens is a scientific journal that publishes research studies focused on understanding how pathogens—organisms like viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites—cause disease. It aims to share new discoveries related to infectious diseases, their biology, and ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat them. The journal ensures that important scientific knowledge reaches researchers and healthcare professionals worldwide, supporting efforts to improve global health through open access to research findings.
