Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Viruses have a global impact on healthcare and on social and economic development because they are the largest cause of mortality due to infectious disease, such as flu, SARS-CoV-2, monkeypox, etc. Investigations into virus-related infectious diseases encompassing molecular epidemiology and molecular etiology play a pivotal role in elucidating viral transmission patterns, epidemic models, as well as intricate host–virus interactions.
In recent years, there has been rapid advancement in molecular research on virus-related infectious diseases; however, continuous exploration of novel techniques and ideas remains imperative, which aims to further enhance our comprehension of viral mechanisms and pave the way for innovative approaches towards prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of viral infections.
This Special Issue is intended to cover all the past and ongoing efforts on molecular research on virus-related infectious disease. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Molecular diagnosis of viruses;
- Viral genomics;
- Host–virus interactions;
- Molecular pathways;
- Therapeutic targets;
- Vaccine development.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
