Dear Colleagues,

The special issue on "Pathogen Sensors" will be a compendium of some of the most recent research on "Pathogen Sensors" including but not limited to developing technologies to detect and/or characterize pathogenic agents related to plant, food, soil, animal, and human systems. Thus we set to address biosensors based on electrochemical, optical, mass, acoustic, magnetic, and immuno-based concepts addressing any aspect of detection in biology including sample preparation methodologies. Biomemitic sensors and research exploring pathogen capturing molecules besides standard antibodies, such as aptamers, peptides, carbohydrate-lipid-based linkers are also of interest. Industry standards on biosensors need to be addressed, articles dealing with biosensor standardization will be entertained.

Submission

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed Open Access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
