Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
COVID-19 continues to spread globally. Despite vaccination boosting, the risk of getting infected or reinfected with SARS-CoV-2 remains due to the emergence of viral variants. Often, these variants may evade naturally acquired or vaccine-induced immunity. Therefore, it is essential to study the relationship between genetic diversity, antibody response, and the evolution of SARS-CoV-2. The aim of this Special Issue is to evaluate recent research on the neutralizing antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 variants. We welcome original research articles and reviews. Research areas may include but are not limited to SARS-CoV-2 and vaccines, SARS-CoV-2 and natural infection, immunity mechanisms, competition between variants, vaccine escape, and SARS-CoV-2 dynamics.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Chloé Dimeglio
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information

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.
