Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,
 
Emerging and re-emerging viruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), avian influenza A(H5N1) virus, monkeypox virus (MPXV), Ebola virus, and arboviruses have caused outbreaks of various scales associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and socioeconomic disruptions. Rapid diagnostics with high sensitivity and specificity, therapeutics with high potency and broad-spectrum coverage, vaccines with high immunogenicity and safety profiles, surveillance networks with efficient reporting mechanisms, and non-pharmacological public health interventions are essential for the control of these and future emerging viral infection outbreaks. In this Special Issue of Pathogens, we invite investigators to submit original research and review articles on the following aspects of emerging and re-emerging viral infections:
  1. Discovery of viruses with clear evidence of relevance to human and/or animal health;
  2. Mechanistic studies on disease pathogenesis;
  3. New diagnostics;
  4. Host-targeting or virus-targeting antivirals;
  5. Novel vaccines or vaccine adjuvants;
  6. Public health control measures.
