Hemorrhagic Fever Viruses: Pathogenesis and Countermeasures

Dear Colleagues,

Infectious disease outbreaks, in particular viral hemorrhagic fever outbreaks, have increased in frequency over the last decade. New pathogens have emerged and known ones have caused outbreaks elsewhere, increasing their endemic areas. There are only a few licensed vaccines and therapeutics available to date to counter these pathogens, and more efforts are needed to increase preparedness for known and unknown emerging infectious disease outbreaks.

In this Special Issue, we wish to publish reviews and research articles documenting the current knowledge about hemorrhagic fever viruses. We are encouraging manuscripts addressing aspects of human disease and pathogenesis, the public health impact and epidemiology, the ecology and potential reservoir species, as well as the mode of transmission, animal model development, and the status of countermeasure development including vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics.
