Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The merger of the two disciplines of ecology, which studies population dynamics, and epidemiology, which examines the effects of disease on populations, is known as ecological epidemiology. More and more eco-epidemiological studies have found that infectious diseases regulate the host population and affect other species interacting with the host. The timely conduct of eco-epidemiological research is conducive to finding out the pattern of ecological change that leads to the occurrence of diseases, preventing disease epidemics more proactively, and preventing diseases from occurring more scientifically.
For this special issue, we will bring together scholars from diverse backgrounds to contribute original researches presenting recent advances in the study of differential equations in population ecology, infectious diseases, and other relevant areas in life sciences. All submitted manuscripts will be carefully reviewed and receive timely feedback.

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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
