Elimination of Viral Hepatitis: Improving Diagnosis, Treatment and Surveillance, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Viruses will explore key challenges in the global elimination of viral hepatitis. It will particularly focus on three broad areas of research that are all needed to reduce the global burden of viral hepatitis. First, it will report innovations in diagnostics to improve and simplify the process of obtaining a reliable, low-cost, and quick diagnosis. Second, it will explore novel pathways that link people to care and treatment, making treatment services acceptable and reducing stigma. Third, it will examine surveillance systems and interventions in healthcare data to monitor progress toward elimination. This Special Issue aims to publish cross-disciplinary submissions including epidemiology, clinical, health services, and social research focused on viral hepatitis.

Dr. Riccardo Nevola
Guest Editor
