Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On July 23, the WHO Director-General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, declared the escalating global monkeypox outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). A rapidly emerging epidemic of a formerly existent yet neglected virus, monkeypox (hMPXV), has alarmed the world, representing a global health emergency.
In response to this emerging and evolving epidemic, the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) will publish a Special Issue on hMPXV.
This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) focuses on the current state of knowledge about hMPXV and its impact on different countries, regions, and populations.
This Special Issue is dedicated to a wide range of aspects related to hMPXV, particularly focusing on its global health impact. New research papers, reviews, and case reports, as well as position papers, brief reports, and commentaries, will be accepted. Papers discussing how health inequalities might be interconnected with hMPXV are also welcome. We will accept manuscripts from a broad range of disciplines, including epidemiology, surveillance, qualitative methods, and intervention studies, among others.
This Special Issue will grow continuously as articles are accepted, and will be a prime, open access, and international resource on the topic. All article types will be considered, and successful papers will be expedited.
Dr. Monica Malta
Guest Editor
