Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in 2019, as well as the high prevalence of other viral infections, such as influenza, Zika, Ebola, HIV and viral hepatitis (A, B, C, D and E) worldwide, underscore the need to advance our knowledge of immuno-virological parameters associated with viral infections and/or persistence to ultimately prevent and/or control viral infections.
Notably, many efforts have been devoted in Switzerland to advance the characterization of viruses, identify viral reservoirs and develop novel therapeutic approaches or diagnostic tools. Therefore, this Special Issue is to publish research studies conducted in Switzerland on the aforementioned aspects. We encourage researchers to submit both original manuscripts and reviews to this Special Issue entitled “State-of-the-Art virology research in Switzerland.”
