Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Emerging Arboviruses and Novel Viral Threats: Detection, Surveillance, and Mitigation Strategies,” addresses the global challenge posed by novel viral threats and resurging arboviruses with public health implications. Factors such as climate change, urbanization, wildlife–human interactions, and increased human mobility are accelerating the spread and evolution of viral pathogens. It highlights approaches that integrate serological and molecular diagnostics, as well as epidemic and genomic surveillance, providing updates on advances in detecting, and monitoring of viral emergence.
The issue also seeks to explore innovative mitigation strategies, ranging from antiviral development and novel vaccine platforms to vector control, public health preparedness, and One Health-based interventions. By bringing together contributions from diverse fields of virology, this Special Issue provides a comprehensive perspective on the scientific tools necessary to reduce the impact of emerging and novel viral threats.
