Infectious Diseases and Molecular Epidemiology: Focus on Pathogenic Microorganisms

Dear Colleagues,

Infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms, which lead to a massive burden of disability and death, have always been terrifying threats to human beings. Emerging pathogens including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), Ebola virus, Zika virus and SARS-CoV-2 have caused great harm to human beings. Fast, accurate and cost-effective detection and identification of pathogens and analysis of epidemiological characteristics are crucial to prevent and control infectious disease epidemics. Timely diagnosis and proper treatment of infectious diseases are of great significance to prevent disease progression of infectious diseases. Therefore, the aim of current special issue is to focus on the advance in epidemiology, detection, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases, especially for emerging infectious diseases.

We welcome the submission of original studies, review articles, and comprehensive review that relate to molecular aspect of epidemiology, detection, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases.

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 submissions that pass pre-check are 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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
