Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to launch a Special Issue entitled Phage–Host Interactions: From Communities to Single Particles together with an expert editorial team.
This Special Issue acts as a platform for publishing original research and reviews exploring the interactions between phages and their bacterial hosts on multiple levels—from communities to single cells or single-phage-single-host—using model systems. We also welcome studies that investigate the role of phages in shaping bacterial diversity and physiology and shed some light on the underlying mechanisms behind phage-mediated changes in bacteria. We are particularly interested in attracting studies that use cutting-edge technologies in molecular biology, system biology, biochemistry, ecology, and computer science to explore interactions between phages and bacteria in different ecosystems.
We aim to recruit top phage researchers to contribute to this Special Issue of viruses and sincerely hope that the provided information will attract your interest and encourage you to provide your contribution(s) to this call.
