Arboviruses: Molecular Biology, Evolution and Control

Dear colleagues,

Due to climate change, urbanization, changes in land use, and changes in human and animal demography, arboviruses have been emerging and re-emerging during the last few decades, as can be seen from the ongoing Usutu Virus and West Nile Virus outbreak in Europe and the Zika virus outbreak in Brazil. Other arboviruses are also currently circulating in different parts of the world, such as Chikungunya Virus, Rift Valley Fever Virus, African Swine Fever Virus, Japanese Encephalitis Virus, and Yellow Fever Virus. In this Special Issue, we would like to address the molecular biology, evolution, and control of emerging arboviruses. These emerging arboviruses include viruses of human importance as well as viruses of veterinary importance.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Viruses is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
