Communicable Diseases: New and Old Therapies and Preventive Strategies, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The emergence of new pathogens requires the ongoing development of preventive and therapeutic strategies. Additionally, the increasing concern surrounding antimicrobial resistance necessitates innovative methods and tools to combat the spread of established pathogens. We invite contributions to this Special Issue, which aims at publishing articles focused on new preventive strategies and therapies while discussing the challenges and benefits of existing approaches. We welcome original research articles, commentaries, research protocols, and reviews. Research topics may include the development of new vaccines or therapies, the efficacy of novel preventive strategies, and the current gaps in available therapies and preventive measures.
