Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce this Collection titled “Editorial Board Members’ Collection Series: Feature Papers in Infection and Immunity”, which will collect papers invited by the Editorial Board Members.
The aim of this Collection is to provide a venue for networking and communication between the journal Pathogens and scholars in the field of infection and immunity. This collection is devoted to the advancement of knowledge concerning infections caused by pathogens and immune responses to these pathogenic microorganisms, including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. Manuscripts on immunology, microbiology, infectious diseases, bacteriology, virology, mycology, and parasitology are welcome. We invite experts worldwide to submit research or review articles related to this important topic. All papers will be published open access following peer review.
