Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dengue infection is a significant global health threat, affecting tropical and subtropical regions in particular. As stated by the World Health Organization (WHO), it is one of the main causes of illness and mortality in several Latin American and Asian countries. It is estimated that about half of the world’s population is currently at risk of dengue, with 100 to 400 million cases being recorded annually. Climate change, population growth, international travel, and trade have resulted in important changes in the epidemiology and spread of the disease in recent years. Nevertheless, alongside the continuous spread and increase of dengue cases worldwide, new achievements in terms of management, prevention, and surveillance have been reached as well.
This Special Issue, "Epidemiology, Prevention and Research on Dengue Virus", will feature articles focused on current epidemiological scenarios of the dengue virus worldwide, as well as research works and updates on clinical and diagnostic aspects, vaccines, and other prevention strategies. Manuscripts structured as short communications, original research papers, and reviews on this subject will be considered by the Editorial Office and evaluated for their suitability to undergo revision.
The aim of this Special Issue of Infectious Disease Reports is to favor the rapid publication and dissemination of research data, with the objective of promoting the progress of scientific and clinical knowledge in the field of dengue infection. This will allow for the obtention of reliable and updated information to guide clinicians in the management and prevention of dengue, as well as policy makers in the implementation of adequate surveillance and control strategies.
