Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the ever-evolving landscape of infectious diseases, the study of emerging viruses stands at the forefront of scientific inquiry. As the global community grapples with the challenges posed by novel viral threats, the need for a comprehensive understanding of their molecular epidemiology becomes increasingly paramount. We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Pathogens entitled "Molecular Epidemiology of Emerging Viruses". In this Special Issue, we aim to provide new genomic and epidemiological data on viral strains circulating worldwide and offer an overview of the real-time global evolution of viruses.
This Special Issue invites contributions, welcoming original research articles, reviews, and methodological papers that span a broad spectrum of themes, including bioinformatics in viral research, viral evolution and dynamics, epidemiological investigations, mathematical models for emerging and recurrent viruses, and other topics related to the molecular epidemiology of emerging viruses.
Please feel free to submit your contributions, as we aim to create a comprehensive collection that advances our understanding of the intricate dynamics of emerging viruses. Manuscripts should adhere to the guidelines outlined by the journal and be submitted through the online platform.
Dr. Vagner Fonseca

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. Pathogens is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
