Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
Yersiniosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Yersinia. Yersinioses are zoonotic infections of domestic and wild animals; humans are considered incidental hosts that do not contribute to the natural disease cycle. The genus Yersinia comprises 18 species, 3 of which are important human pathogens: Yersinia pestis (biothreat agent) and the two enteropathogenic Yersinia species Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis.
On a genomic level, Y. pestis is highly similar to the enteropathogen Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; however, a series of gene gain and loss events have led to the appearance of markedly different mechanisms of disease as well as niche preferences and lifestyle.
This Special Issue will contribute to a better understanding of the infectious process of Yersinia and related omics, which is systematically crucial for the development of more effective strategies for diagnosis, control, and prevention of its diseases.
We hope you will participate by submitting a high-quality research paper or review article for inclusion in this Special Issue.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
