Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infectious diseases are a major global health challenge, in particular in a modern world that face challenges of emerging pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, and evolving epidemiological patterns.
This special issue of Biomedicines aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of the mechanisms underlying infectious diseases, novel diagnostic approaches, and cutting-edge therapeutic strategies.
We welcome contributions that enhance our understanding of microbial pathogenesis, host immune responses, and pathogen-host interactions. Submissions focusing on innovative diagnostic techniques, including molecular, immunological, and imaging-based methods, research on antimicrobial agents, novel drug delivery systems, vaccine development, and personalized treatment strategies are all encouraged. Papers exploring the evolving epidemiology of infective diseases, particularly considering the role of underlying chronic diseases, a very important topic in our aging society, will also be gladly considered. We also hope to receive submission concerning changing epidemiology and novel microbial pathogens emerging in the context of climate change.
By bringing together research and reviews from experts in microbiology, immunology, clinical medicine, and biomedical sciences, this special issue aims to advance knowledge and improve outcomes in the fight against infectious diseases.
Dr. Laura Franza
Guest Editor
