Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infectious diseases remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered seasonal patterns and incidence rates of various pediatric infectious diseases. Notably, vaccine-preventable diseases like measles have reemerged in many regions.
This Special Issue, “Pediatric Infectious Disease Epidemiology”, aims to explore the evolving trends, epidemiological characteristics, and impact of childhood infections on public health. We invite original research articles and reviews that address infectious diseases in children and adolescents, with topics including but not limited to the following:
- Pediatric infectious diseases and their epidemiology;
- Disease surveillance and outbreak patterns;
- Epidemiological methodologies;
- Public health interventions for infectious disease and control strategies.
Your contributions will enhance our understanding of infectious disease epidemiology and dynamics in children and adolescents across diverse settings. We encourage researchers to submit their work to advance knowledge in this crucial area of public health.
