Instructions to Authors
MANUSCRIPTS and all editorial correspondence should be sent by air or first class mail to Professor Arie J. Zuckerman, Office of the Dean, Royal Free And University College Medical School (University of London), Rowland Hill Street, Hampstead, London, NW3 2PF, England, or Dr. Brian W.J. Mahy, Mailstop C12, National Center for Infectious Diseases, Atlanta, GA 30333. The manuscript should be typed double spaced throughout. Submit the original manuscript with two copies. Number all pages in sequence and begin each section on a new page. Manuscripts should be divided into the following sections:
Title Page. This should contain the complete title of the paper; the names, titles, and affiliations of all authors; the institution at which the work was performed; the name, address, telephone, and fax number for all correspondence; and a shortened title, not more than 40 characters, to be used as a running head.
Abstract. This should be a factual condensation of the entire work and include statements of the problem, method of study, results, and conclusions. The abstract may not exceed 250 words.
Key Words. Supply a list of three to six key words (without repeating words in the title), pertinent to the article, which will appear below the abstract and will be included in the index at the end of the volume.
Virus Nomenclature. Ech virus should be identified at least once, preferably in the Introduction or Materials and Methods section, using formal family, genus, and species terms, and where possible by using a precise strain designation term as developed by an internationally recognized specialty group or culture collection. Please note that the word type is not used before species designations that include a number. Formal terms used for virus families, genera, and species, should be those approved by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV): Van Regenmortel, M.H.V., Fauquet, C.M., Bishop, D.H.L., Carstens, E.B. Estes, M.K., Lemon, S.M., McGeoch, D.J., Maniloff, J., Mayo, M.A., Pringle, C.R., and Wickner, R.B. Virus taxonomy, Classification and Nomenclature of Viruses, Seventh ICTV Report, Academic Press. This volume also includes standard abbreviations for species. Once formal taxonomic names have been given in a paper, vernacular terms may be used.
Formal taxonomic nomenclature In Formal taxonomic usage, the first letters of virus order, family, subfamily, genus and species names are capitalized and the terms are printed in italics. Other words in the species name are not capitalized unless they are proper nouns or parts of nouns, for example West Nile virus. in formal usage, the name of the taxon should precede the term for the taxonomic unit; for example: "the family Paramyxovirdae," "the genus Morbillivirus." The following represent examples of full formal taxonomic terminology:
1. Order Mononegavirales, Family Rhabdoviridae, genus Lyssavirus, species Rabies virus. 2. Family Poxviridae, subfamily Chrodopoxvirinae, genus Orthopoxvirus, species Vaccinia virus. 3. Family Picornaviridae, genus Enterovirus, species Poliovirus. 4. Family Bunyaviridae, genus Tospovirus, species Tomato spotted wilt virus.
Vernacular taxonomic nomenclature In formal vernacular usage, virus order, family, subfamily, genus, and species names are written in lower case Roman script; they are not capitalized, nor are they printed in italics or underlined. In informal usage, the name of the taxon should not include the formal suffix, and the name of the taxon should follow the term for the taxonomic unit; for example "the picornavirus family," "the enterovirus genus." One particular source of ambiguity in vernacular nomenclature lies in the common use of the same root terms in formal family, genus or species names. Imprecision stems from not being able to easily refer to the family Paramyxoviridae, the subfamily Paramyxovirinae, or one species in the genus Respirovirus, such as Human parainfluenza virus 1. The solution in vernacular usage is to avoid "jumping" hierarchical levels and to add taxon identification wherever needed. For example, whjen citing the taxonomic placement of Human parainfluenza virus 1, taxon identification should always be added: "Human parainfluenza virus 1 is a species in the genus Respirovirus, family Paramyxoviridae. In this example, as is usually the case, adding the information that this virus is also a member of the subfamily Paramyxovirinae and the order Mononegavirales is unnecessary.
It should be stressed that italics and capitals initial letters need to be used only if the species name refers to the taxonomic category. When the name refers to viral objects such as virons present in a preparation or seen in an electron micrograph, italics and capitals initial letters are not needed and the names are written in lower case Roman script. This also applies when the names are used in adjectival form, for instance tobacco mosaic virus polymerase. The use of italics when referring to the name of a species as a taxonomic entity signals that it has the status of an officially recognized species. The 7th ICTV Report (Van Regenmortel, M.H.V. et al, 1999, Academic Press) should be consulted to ascertain which names have been approved as official species names. When the taxonomic status of a new putative species is uncertain or its position within an established genus has not been clarified, it is considered a tentative species and its name is not written in italics although its initial letter is capitalized.
Text. Authors whose "first" language is not English should arrange for their manuscripts to be written in idiomatic English prior to submission. Authors may use either English or American style; for the former, consult the Oxford Shorter Dictionary; for the latter, consult Merriam-Webster's. Manuscripts reporting the results of experimental investigations on human subjects must include a statement to the effect that procedures had received official institutional and ethical approval. Refer to patients by number (or, in anecdotal reports, by anonymous initials). Full names or identifiable designations should not be used in the text, tables, or illustrations. All measurements are to be in metric units. Define unusual abbreviations. Species name should be in italics and have the first letter of the first word capitalized. All other words in the name should not be capitalized unless they are proper nouns or parts of nouns. Place acknowledgments as the last element of the text, before references. References.

ALL MANUSCRIPTS submitted to the Journal of Medical Virology must be submitted solely to this journal, may not have been published in any part or form in another publication of any type, professional or lay, and becomes the property of the publisher. The publisher reserves copyright, and no published material may be reproduced or published elsewhere without the written permission of the publisher and the author. The journal will not be responsible for the loss of manuscripts at any time. All statements in, or omissions from, published manuscripts are the responsibility of the authors who will assist the editors by reviewing proofs before publication. Reprint order forms will be sent with page proofs. No page charges will be levied against authors or their institutions for publication in the journal.
Disk Submission Instructions
Please return your final, revised manuscript on disk as well as hard copy.
The hard copy must match the disk.
The Journal strongly encourages authors to deliver the final, revised version of their accepted manuscripts (text, tables, and, if possible, illustrations) on disk. Given the near-universal use of computer word-processing for manuscript preparation, we anticipate that providing a disk will be convenient for you, and it carries the added advantages of maintaining the integrity of your keystrokes and expediting typesetting. Please return the disk submission slip below with your manuscript and labeled disk(s).
Guidelines for Electronic Submission
Text
Storage medium. 3-1/2" high-density disk in IBM MS-DOS, Windows, or Macintosh format.
Software and format. Microsoft Word 6.0 is preferred, although manuscripts prepared with any other microcomputer word processor are acceptable. Refrain from complex formatting; the Publisher will style your manuscript according to the Journal design specifications. Do not use desktop publishing software such as Aldus PageMaker or Quark XPress. If you prepared your manuscript with one of these programs, export the text to a word processing format. Please make sure your word processing program's "fast save" feature is turned off. Please do not deliver files that contain hidden text: for example, do not use your word processor's automated features to create footnotes or reference lists.
File names. Submit the text and tables of each manuscript as a single file. Name each file with your last name (up to eight letters). Text files should be given the three-letter extension that identifies the file format. Macintosh users should maintain the MS-DOS "eight dot three" file-naming convention.
Labels. Label all disks with your name, the file name, and the word processing program and version used.
Illustrations
All print reproduction requires files for full color images to be in a CMYK color space. If possible, ICC or ColorSync profiles of your output device should accompany all digital image submissions.
Storage medium. Submit as separate files from text files, on separate disks or cartridges. If feasible, full color files should be submitted on separate disks from other image files. 3-1/2" high-density disks, CD, Iomega Zip, and 5 1/4" 44- or 88-MB SyQuest cartridges can be submitted. At authors' request, cartridges and disks will be returned after publication.
Software and format. All illustration files should be in TIFF or EPS (with preview) formats. Do not submit native application formats.
Resolution. Journal quality reproduction will require greyscale and color files at resolutions yielding approximately 300 ppi. Bitmapped line art should be submitted at resolutions yielding 600-1200 ppi. These resolutions refer to the output size of the file; if you anticipate that your images will be enlarged or reduced, resolutions should be adjusted accordingly.
File names. Illustration files should be given the 2- or 3-letter extension that identifies the file format used (i.e., .tif, .eps).
Labels. Label all disks and cartridges with your name, the file names, formats, and compression schemes (if any) used. Hard copy output must accompany all files.
