Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Viral infectious diseases are an extremely diverse and important subset in the field of infectious diseases in medicine. Knowledge of the epidemiology of viral infectious diseases is the basis for strategic planning to reduce them in the context of public health. It is well known that the epidemiology of individual viral infectious diseases is changing, and the factors that cause this are changing human behavior, anti-vaccination movements, international conflicts, climate change and many others. Awareness and up-to-date knowledge in this area are crucial to achieving the set goals of combating and even ending the epidemic of individual viral infectious diseases.
In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers on the epidemiology of viral infectious diseases, in particular recent updates and perspectives.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Journal of Clinical Medicine.
