Epidemiology, Pathogenesis and Immunity of Adenovirus

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.
