Collection: Hepatitis C
The 2020 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Harvey J. Alter, Michael Houghton and Charles M. Rice for their discovery of Hepatitis C virus. In celebration of what they started and showcasing areas of research that have since emerged, we here present a collection of articles from the BMC Biology, BMC Medicine, Genome Medicine and the BMC Series Journals on biology, diagnosis and treatment and wider public health and medical outcomes of the Hepatitis C virus and its infection.
BMC Series Focus Issue
January: Data sharing
Research data are the foundations of reliable and reproducible science. This month, we would like to highlight different ways authors were able to publish and share their data by choosing the BMC series.
Featured Articles
Soil microbes and deterioration
This study finds that changes in soil microbial communities can influence and are associated with deterioration of the earthen site over time.
Paternal weight influences offspring's intestines
In this recent study, authors find that paternal weight of ducks influence the offspring's small intestine function and cecal microbiome.
How to keep the honeybees healthy during winter?
This recent study finds that feeding the honeybees sucrose during the winter alters their gut microbiome helping them survive the cold.

Aims and scope
BMC Microbiology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all microorganisms - bacteria, archaea, algae and fungi, viruses, unicellular parasites and helminths. It considers studies on all aspects of the biology and biochemistry of microorganisms including but not limited to cell biology, genomics, signalling, the interaction of the microbes with the environment and host, mechanistic and functional insights into infection and disease, and biotechnological application in science and industry.
Call for Papers: New Section Launches
The Editors of BMC Microbiology are pleased to announce the launch of two new sections to acknowledge the growing field of microbiology research. The new sections are:
- Microbiome
