Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infectious and inflammatory diseases continue to be leading causes of morbidity and mortality across both human and animal populations, representing a significant global health challenge that requires continuous scientific attention. These conditions affect multiple organ systems, disrupt homeostasis, and drive complex immune responses that influence disease outcomes. Advances in diagnostic tools, molecular techniques, and comparative pathology now provide deeper insights into the mechanisms underlying host–pathogen interactions and inflammatory responses. These developments offer new opportunities for improving disease detection, understanding pathogenesis, and informing clinical decision-making. This Special Issue aims to bring together high-quality research focused on infectious and inflammatory diseases, with an emphasis on diagnostic pathology, systemic and organ-specific lesions, disease mechanisms, and translational applications. Topics of interest include emerging and re-emerging pathogens, molecular and immunohistochemical diagnostics, inflammatory pathways, tissue-based investigations, and host immune responses. This issue fits well within the scope of Biomedicines, which promotes innovative research bridging pathology, diagnostics, disease biology, and clinical relevance. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Infectious diseases across species;
- Organ-specific inflammatory pathology;
- Molecular and immunohistochemical diagnostics;
- Host–pathogen interactions;
- Emerging pathogens;
- Disease mechanisms and biomarkers.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Manuscript Submission Information
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. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biomedicines 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 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
