Advances in Human Infections and Public Health: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues, 

Our understanding of human infections constitutes an important part of public health preparedness, particularly because many infections are emerging or re-emerging in various locations across the world. These infections can cause a significant public health burden, not only in terms of direct morbidity and mortality but also through the added pressure that they place on socio-economic and healthcare systems. As such, it is important to continuously develop our understanding of human infections and to consider how this enhanced understanding can best be applied for public health purposes. 

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a collection of articles that showcase advances in how we understand human infections and how public health approaches to prevention and control can be accommodated to incorporate these advances. As the Guest Editor of this Special Issue, “Advances in Human Infections and Public Health”, I invite you to submit research articles, review articles, and short communications related to this topic. 

Dr. Katrin Gaardbo Kuhn
Guest Editor
