Feature Papers on the Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new Special Issue titled “Feature Papers on the Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases”. This Special Issue aims to solicit primary research articles, reviews, editorials, and commentaries on contemporary and hot topics from scholars.

Due to the pandemic, scholars have experienced significant delays in their research works. Despite the current situation, many researchers have devoted their time to conducting research and submitting their original papers on COVID-19 to Pathogens in the hope that these published papers might assist colleagues in combating the virus. With the goal to acknowledge scholars’ works and avoid inconveniences introduced by the pandemic, this Special Issue is specifically dedicated to “Feature Papers on the Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases”. We sincerely hope that scholars from all over the world will publish papers based on their research over the last few years.
