Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled “Influenza Virus Neuraminidase: Structure, Evolution, and Therapeutics”, aims to present recent research on several aspects of influenza neuraminidase (NA). Some of its focal points include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Protein structure;
- Genetic evolutionary changes and pathways;
- Selective pressure;
- Targeted antivirals: licensed and novel approaches/inhibitors;
- Antiviral resistance and reduced susceptibility;
- NA-based monoclonal antibodies;
- NA as a vaccine antigen.
Reviews, original research articles, brief reports, and communications from academia, research institutes, or industries are welcome.
