Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Viral infections have long been of interest to physicians and scientists around the world; however only the development of molecular techniques in recent decades has made it possible to understand many aspects of viral biology and their potential for transmission. Today, viral zoonotic diseases are becoming an increasing threat. This phenomenon is fostered by an increase in the size of both populations (human and animal) and the accompanying anthropogenic environmental degradation, as well as the need to convert wasteland into agricultural land and the interspecies transfer of pathogens resulting from climate change and the destruction of wildlife habitats and the environment. In the fight against zoonoses, research indicating the mechanisms by which viruses cross interspecies barriers, their adaptability and mutagenic properties is extremely important.
We are pleased to invite you to submit articles describing and discussing the latest data on the pathogenesis, physiology, molecular biology, diagnosis and treatment of viral infections, with particular emphasis on research at the molecular level.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- zoonotic diseases;
- interspecies barriers in viral infections;
- virus mutations;
- pathogenesis of viral infections;
- oxidative stress in viral infections;
- molecular diagnostic methods;
- antiviral drugs/preparations;
- viral diseases with epidemic potential;
- physiological mechanisms of viral infections.
We look forward to receiving your applications.

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. 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.
