Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue on Arbovirus Infections in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, a prestigious platform committed to advancing molecular studies in biology and chemistry, with an emphasis on molecular biology and molecular medicine.
Over the past four decades, arboviruses, transmitted primarily by arthropods, have emerged as a significant global health concern, marked by the resurgence of well-known viruses such as the West Nile virus (WNV), dengue virus (DENV), and chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Additionally, new players like the Zika virus (ZIKV) have come into play, introducing new clinical patterns and transmission modes. The co-circulation of arboviruses may pose significant global health threat, leading to a spectrum of diseases in humans, animals, and plants.
This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research addressing the fundamental molecular aspects of arbovirus infections, shedding light on their intricate interactions with hosts, vectors, and the environment. By fostering a collaborative and multidisciplinary environment, we aspire to advance the understanding of arbovirus infections at the molecular level, facilitating the development of novel strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Join us in contributing to this endeavor and shaping the future of arbovirus research.
Dr. Patrícia Carvalho De Sequeira
Guest Editor
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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
