Arboviruses Infections and Pathogenesis

Dear Colleagues,

Arboviruses are a group of viruses that are transmitted to vertebrate hosts by hematophagous arthropod vectors. These vectors are commonly mosquitoes, ticks, sandy flies, and other arthropods. Arboviruses, such as the dengue virus (DENV); yellow fever virus (YFV); Chikungunya virus (CHIKV); Zika virus (ZIKV); Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV); and Rift Valley fever virus, etc., can affect both humans and animals causing great concern for public health worldwide for potential emergent or re-emergent diseases, with epidemic outbreaks and the introduction of the endemic circulation of species previously confined to tropical and subtropical regions. Although many efforts have been made to improve our understanding of arbovirus infection, our current knowledge is still limited. A better understanding of arbovirus infections and pathogenesis would be of great significance for developing diagnostics, control and prevention, and the treatment of arboviral diseases.

This Special Issue will focus on and cover a wide range of topics about arboviruses ,including recent advances in understanding the pathogenesis of arbovirus, its molecular interactions with host cells, and new developments in diagnostic methods and therapeutic strategies, research articles, and review articles related to the topic are welcome.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Pathogens is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
