Viral Infections in Developing Countries, Volume II

Dear Colleagues,

We are opening a second volume of “Viral Infections in Developing Countries” for new submissions, following its previous success.

Viral infections caused by endemic, emerging, and reemerging viruses are constantly challenging public health systems and health policies all over the world. Circulation of these viruses in developing countries emphasizes the need for the development of new, cost-effective diagnostic methods, therapeutic and prevention strategies, and efficient epidemiological surveillance. Despite economic and public health difficulties, developing countries have been braving these issues and making important contributions to virology research over the years. With a focus on high-quality science developed in the face of unique challenges, we encourage researchers to submit articles to Volume II of this Special Issue series entitled “Viral Infection in Developing Countries”.

The Special Issue series’ goal is to publish research studies that address efforts in viral diagnosis, surveillance, prevention and treatment in developing countries. Investigations on the pathogenesis and clinical aspects of virus infection are also welcome, as well as relevant epidemiological findings. Both original manuscripts and reviews are welcome.
