Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is dedicated to the 8th Congress of the Italian Society for Virology (SIV-ISV (https://siv-isv.org), which will be held in Bologna, Italy, 7th–9th July 2024, and more generally to the research activities in the field of virology that are currently carried out in Italy.

The Special Issue will provide an important opportunity for Italian virologists across different disciplines (basic, clinical, epidemiological, veterinary, plant, etc.) to publish their research work in an internationally recognized scientific journal from a “One Health” perspective. Manuscripts will encompass a wide variety of virus-related topics, including emerging viruses, viral subversion of host cell processes, viruses of microbes, antivirals and vaccines, emerging methods in virology, RNA in virus infection, plant and animal virology, and antiviral innate immunity.

SIV-ISV Congress participants, as well as all other Italian virologists, are invited to contribute original research papers or reviews to this Special Issue of Viruses.
