Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to their nature as obligate intracellular parasites, viruses rely on the most conserved host cell machineries for their own replication. As an enveloped virus buds, the nascent viral capsid becomes wrapped in a plasma-membrane-derived lipid envelope, and a membrane fission event is thus necessary to separate the virion from the host cell. These complex steps require multiple interactions between viral and cellular components. Some of these interactions are conserved among different viral families, while some are peculiar. This Special Issue will focus on the virus/host interplay allowing the budding of different DNA and RNA viruses, with a special focus on quasi-enveloped viruses and coronaviruses.

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 papers will be 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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
