Dear Colleagues,

In this special edition of “Viruses” on Virus Dynamics and Evolution, we focus on new approaches and systems that enhance our knowledge of how viruses adapt and persist within hosts and within populations. There are now unprecedented opportunities to study the interaction of virus and host at these multiple scales due in part to major advances in sequencing and single cell or molecule imaging. Changes in empirical methods are accompanied by substantial progress in computational algorithms and mathematical modeling, which are needed to effectively synthesize these high dimensional and complex data. Indeed, the field of virus dynamics and evolution is exemplary for integrating theory and data to achieve a more complete understanding of virus-host interactions. This compilation of papers exemplifies recent advances in this exciting field.

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. Viruses 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 800 CHF (Swiss Francs).
