Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Given the current surge in norovirus cases—one of the leading causes of acute gastroenteritis worldwide—there is an urgent need for effective vaccines to alleviate the significant social and economic burden of outbreaks. With multiple norovirus vaccines in progress, continued research is essential to accelerate vaccine development and maximize their potential public health impact.
We are pleased to invite you and your colleagues to submit a contribution to this Special Issue, “Norovirus Vaccine”, in which leading experts will describe their work, ideas, and findings. We will cover the major continuing advances in the development of vaccines and immunotherapy treatment for noroviruses, including the following topics: the design and characterization of potential vaccine antigens and candidates, the development of monoclonal antibodies, the testing of vaccine platforms and adjuvants in animals and humans, antiviral immunity, and the relationship between immune responses and viral pathogenesis. Other related topics will also be considered, and these could be related to investigations with which to understand the challenges in current vaccines, broadly neutralizing antibodies, structural function analysis, and theoretical studies on vaccine design.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
