Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-throughput assays have currently become essential components of biomedical research, aiming at building a full landscape of cellular mechanisms at the molecular level. A wide number of infectious microbes and parasites have now their genomes completely sequenced and annotated, paving the way for a variety of omics strategies that can be adopted in order to scrutinize peculiarities on their biology and diseases’ traits. In this Special Issue, we welcome both literature review and original research articles (including investigations through deep bioinformatics meta-analyses and/or machine learning methods on public datasets), as well as short communications, which have employed high-throughput omics approaches on any pathogen-related broad theme, leading to innovative insights on its biology that comprise narrower subthemes in any subfields of genetics, biochemistry, microbiology, parasitology, immunology, pharmacology, pathology, epidemiology, and ecology (in case of vector-borne pathogens), among others. Studies on pathogens impacting either biomedical or veterinary sciences will be considered, aiming to enrich the variety of highly qualified papers to be published herein. Our final overall goal is to promote scientific knowledge that may contribute to the worldwide battle against parasitic and/or infectious diseases.
NOTE: Detailed description of methodologies and technical aspects of the conducted research is strongly recommended, mainly in cases where ad hoc adaptations have been performed.

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 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 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. BioTech is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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). 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
