Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to our Special Issue titled “Epidemiology and Vaccinations in Infectious Diseases.” This issue aims to gather original research articles and reviews that focus on the vital topic of infectious disease epidemiology and prevention.
Infectious diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Continuous monitoring of their epidemiology is essential for global public health, as it enables the detection of changes in expected case distributions and helps address emerging critical issues. Vaccinations play a vital role in preventing these diseases. While traditional vaccines have been effective for many years, it is increasingly important to develop new vaccines to manage both emerging and re-emerging diseases. In this Special Issue, we will address current issues and future perspectives. Topics of interest include outbreaks of classic and emerging infections, changes in the typical epidemiology of diseases, the spread of antimicrobial resistance, the development of new vaccines, and the implementation of vaccination campaigns.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
