Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The understanding and treatment of hepatitis virus infections are rapidly advancing, fostering great optimism. Our Special Issue will address various aspects of hepatitis virus infections, including the following:
- Epidemiology and transmission: Studies on the spread, control, risk factors, and prevention of HBV, HCV, HDV, HAV, and HEV.
- Molecular and cellular biology: Research on viral life cycles, host–virus interactions, and pathogenesis mechanisms.
- Immunology: Insights into immune responses, including innate and adaptive immunity, immune evasion, and vaccine development.
- Clinical studies: Investigations into clinical features, disease progression, diagnosis, and management of hepatitis virus infections.
- Therapeutics and vaccines: Development and evaluation of antiviral therapies, novel treatments, and preventive vaccines.
- Liver disease and complications: Studies on the progression to cirrhosis, liver fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
- Public health and policy: Analyses of public health strategies, policy implications, and global health perspectives.
We invite researchers and clinicians to submit original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and short communications. Publications of the first volume can be found here: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/viruses/special_issues/Hepatitis.
