Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emerging RNA viruses continue to pose a unique threat to global human health. Since the turn of the century, we have witnessed new and on-going global pandemics due to influenza viruses, chikungyna virus, West Nile virus, Zika virus, dengue virus, SARS coronaviruses, and many more. With continued population growth and international connections, we need to focus on development of unique and novel vaccine approaches to address this ongoing global health problem. This special issue seeks manuscripts that evaluate new approaches to develop vaccine technology in the field of emerging RNA viruses. These approaches can include basic proof-of-concept approaches for vaccine development, novel adjuvant approaches, immunology of vaccine approaches, and translational efforts to evaluate immunogenicity and efficacy of a vaccine approach for emerging RNA viruses. We are particulary interested in manuscripts that evaluate novel platforms for rapid vaccine development. A continued and persistent effort to develop novel vaccine candidates and approaches for a variety of RNA viruses will provide an important pipeline of data as new RNA viruses emerge and threaten global human health in the future.
