Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to the conference, “Viruses 2026—New Horizons in Virology”, which will be held in Barcelona, Spain, 11–13 March 2026.
We are constantly reminded of the critical importance of virology research as new viral outbreaks impact people, animals, and plants worldwide. This conference aims to bring together international researchers studying various topics related to viral replication, pathogenesis, structure, immunology, epidemiology, public health, and other areas of virology.
Since the first edition of the conference, Viruses 2016, was held in Basel, followed by editions every two years in Barcelona (2018, 2020, and 2024) and online (2022), the Viruses conference series has clearly established itself as the premier forum for dedicated discussions on all aspects of virology research.
All editions of the Viruses conference series are characterized by the high quality of presentations. Hence, we are pleased to announce the publication of a Special Issue, in Viruses, featuring original manuscripts from abstract presenters and invited speakers.
We are very excited to promote this Special Issue and we look forward to your participation!
