Epidemiology of Pathogenic Agents
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pathogenic agents can cause various infectious diseases when they enter the body of humans and animals and can spread through water, air, soil, and physical contact. These infectious diseases are major public health problems. The epidemiology of Pathogenic Agents enables us to observe and analyze the frequency of infectious diseases from the perspectives of pathogens, transmission routes, susceptible hosts, etc. The knowledge is important to reveal the mechanism and control of pathogenic infectious diseases.
This Special Issue aims to provide the latest findings on the various aspects of pathogenic agents epidemiology. We invite experts worldwide to submit research articles or review articles related to this important topic.
