About this Gateway
Scope
From basic research into pathogenic organisms to clinical trials related to their treatment, the Pathogens Gateway supports open and transparent reporting of all research related to the subject and the diseases they cause.
The Pathogens Gateway complements the F1000Research Infectious Diseases portfolio, alongside the Emerging Diseases and Outbreaks Gateway, and our Collections for Neglected Tropical Diseases and Antimicrobial Resistance. This Gateway will focus on pathogens themselves, including their underlying biology, genetics, evolution, and pathogenesis.
The Pathogens Gateway brings together all research outputs related to pathogens, including:
Collections:
Parasitology Breakthroughs
Submission Deadline: 1st December 2023
Coevolution in a Rapidly Changing World
Submission Deadline: 8th March 2024
Eligibility
The Gateway accepts all content related to pathogenic organisms.

Gateway Areas
The Viruses area captures all research focusing on viral pathogens and the diseases they cause. We welcome basic research into the biology of these viruses, their evolution and how they infect and cause disease.
The Bacteria area publishes content related to pathogenic bacteria and commensal bacteria that cause disease. We welcome basic microbiological studies, evolutionary and genetic analyses, as well as reports of new species.
The Parasites area brings together articles related to parasitic organisms, their life cycles in hosts and vectors, their pathogenesis and underlying biology.
While relatively few fungal species are pathogenic, fungal pathogens can cause severe and even life-threatening disease, particularly in the immunocompromised. The Fungi area brings together all content related to fungal pathogens and the diseases they cause.
The Vaccines and Therapy area focuses on content related to treating and preventing pathogenic infection. Topics include vaccine development, antimicrobial resistance, drug development and clinical trials of these therapies.
The Immune Response and Defence area publishes content related to the body’s natural defences against pathogens and its response to infections. This includes the innate and adaptive immune system, host-pathogen interactions, and host-microbiome interactions.
The Infection Control area focuses on research on preventing infection in the population and how pathogenic organisms are spread. Topics include transmission dynamics, infection control and research on routes of transmission.
