Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Respiratory virus infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in humans. With the advance in molecular diagnostic assays, multiple respiratory viruses are often detected in clinical specimens from patients with respiratory tract infection. The contribution of respiratory virus co-infection to the pathogenesis and clinical outcome of respiratory tract infection remains unclear for many viruses, especially for the SARS-CoV-2 that causes the COVID-19 pandemic. In this Special Issue, we welcome studies which addresses respiratory viral co-infection. The scope will include epidemiological, clinical, immunological, virological and diagnostic studies on respiratory virus co-infection.
