Focus And Scope

Journal of Medical Pest Control ® (JOMPC) is an online-only, fully open access journal that publishes articles announcing the availability of any microbiological resource deposited in a repository available to the community. In addition to considering genome sequences of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes and viruses in public databases, MRA will consider metagenomics sequences, amplicon sequence collections, metabolomics data, proteome data, culture collections, mutant libraries, plasmids and other genetic constructs, publicly available databases and software, and protocols and workflows. Manuscripts submitted to MRA will be peer reviewed for appropriate content and handled by a board of Senior Editors who will accept manuscripts at their discretion.

Journal of Medical Pest Control ® (JOMPC) will consider manuscripts that announce the resources listed below, for which we have provided instruction. Manuscripts providing an in-depth or comparative analysis of these resources will not be considered by MRA. Such manuscripts are more appropriate for other ASM journals, such as Applied and Environmental Microbiology®, mSphere®, the Journal of Bacteriology®, or the Journal of Virology®.

Journal of Medical Pest Control (JOMPC) is an international refereed journal dedicated to the latest advancement of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, Microbiology, Parasitology, Virology And other subjects.

  • Microbes & Disease
Encompasses a broad range of epidemiological, biological, cellular and molecular aspects of host-microbe interactions, zoonosis, emerging pathogens and host responses.
  • Microbes & Environment
Comprising of diverse aspects of microbial ecology including community structure-function relationships, regulation, sensing and responding to the environment, and biotic-abiotic interactions.
  • Microbes & Society
Featuring the various beneficial and detrimental ways microorganisms affect our society, including biotechnology, industrial and food microbiology, antibiotic resistance, vaccine development, security, sustainability, and microbial forensics.


Journal of Medical Pest Control ® (JOMPC) publishes original, peer-reviewed, science-based research articles that report critical advances in all areas of immunological research, including important new tools and techniques. The editors encourage submission of original research findings from all areas within the broad field of immunology from all model organisms, including humans. Areas covered range from basic studies into the biology of innate and adaptive immunity (immune cell development and differentiation, immunogenomics, systems immunology, structural immunology, antigen presentation, immunometabolism, and mucosal immunology) to immune contributions to health and disease (host defense, inflammation, cancer immunology, autoimmunity, allergy, transplantation, and immunodeficiency). The editors and an international advisory group of scientists hold Science Immunology articles to the same high-quality standard that is the hallmark of the Science family of journals.
