Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
I am delighted, as the Guest Editor, to personally invite you to submit a paper for our Special Issue on infectious diseases to be published in the journal Healthcare. If accepted, your paper will join other investigators, practitioner-scholars, and the theorists who have addressed some aspects of infectious diseases’ diagnosis, assessment, and treatment, including the epidemiological approaches to investigate the evolution of infectious diseases from endemics to pandemics. For the present Special Issue, we are recruiting colleagues like you who will be submitting papers based on original findings. However, other types of papers will be considered, such as targeted literature reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and theoretical papers.
The aim of this Special Issue is to announce, recruit, and publish new papers on infectious diseases and the occurrence of endemics and pandemics that would be of special interest to readers of Healthcare. Thus, papers published in this Special Issue aim to significantly contribute to the literature focusing on a recurrent healthcare problem that affected the entire population, which deserves special attention from all people, mainly scientists and healthcare managers.
In this Special Issue, original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and theoretical and clinical intervention papers are welcome.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Fernando Augusto Lima Marson
Guest Editor
