Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) represent a diverse group of pathogens responsible for a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from mild respiratory tract infections to severe multi-organ disease. Understanding the epidemiology and pathogenesis of adenovirus infections is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies and therapeutic interventions.
This Special Issue aims to explore the multifaceted aspects of adenovirus infections, encompassing studies on viral epidemiology, transmission dynamics, host susceptibility factors, and the underlying mechanisms of viral pathogenesis. Contributions are invited to delve into the molecular virology of adenoviruses, including viral entry, replication strategies, and immune evasion mechanisms. Additionally, epidemiological investigations should shed light on disease trends, outbreak scenarios, and the impact of adenovirus infections on public health.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Viruses is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
