Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The escalating frequency and global impact of (re)emerging infectious diseases underscore an urgent need for rapid, accurate, and comprehensive detection methodologies. This Special Issue compiles cutting-edge research and critical reviews addressing the multifaceted challenges of pathogen surveillance and analysis. Contributions explore advanced molecular diagnostics, including next-generation sequencing and CRISPR-based platforms, alongside innovations in biosensors, metagenomics, and point-of-care technologies. A central theme is the integration of traditional microbiological techniques with novel computational tools for real-time data sharing, genomic epidemiology, and antimicrobial resistance profiling. This collection highlights the critical role of cross-disciplinary approaches in bridging the gap between clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and public health response. By presenting case studies on emerging viral, bacterial, and fungal threats—from outbreak investigation to evolutionary tracking—this Special Issue provides a vital resource for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers striving to strengthen global health security against current and future infectious threats.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
