Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Adenoviruses constitute a common cause of disease in humans, which includes infection in airways, gut, eyes, but also in lymphoid tissue, urinary tract, and liver. Adenovirus infections can be both acute and persistent, and the latter are a common cause of death in immunocompromised patients. There are no approved drugs against this pathogen, implying that studies to better understand its basic biology and pathogenesis are urgently needed. In this Special Issue, we would like to address the molecular and cellular mechanisms of adenovirus infection and pathogenesis. This includes the molecular determinants of cell and tissue tropism, life cycle, transmission in the host, mechanisms of cell death and tissue damage, as well as modulation and evasion of the host’s immune defense. We welcome all paper formats, including short and regular original articles and reviews. For participants of the 14th International Adenovirus Meeting in Spain (https://iam2020.atlantacongress.org/), a 10% discount on Article Processing Charges will be applied.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
