Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that we are launching this Special Issue entitled “Women in Virology 2025”, which aims to highlight the contributions of female virologists at all levels of their careers (early, middle, and advanced) around the world.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) animal, human, and plant viruses as well as those related to diagnosis, pathogenesis, transmission, pre-clinical studies, clinical trials, antivirals, vaccines, immunology, biology, molecular virology, etc.
All types of articles are welcome: short communications, original research papers, review articles as well as biographies or articles celebrating outstanding virologists who are women. Although articles where the first or senior authors are women are encouraged, submissions from all authors, irrespective of gender, will be considered.
