Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The molecular epidemiology of leishmaniasis is a developing field that has been revolutionised by the emergence of genomic epidemiology and population genetics, as well as deep sequencing applications to study population diversity within hosts, which also inform the development of improved diagnostic and genotyping methods.
This Special Issue will accept Original Research Articles and Reviews that cover all aspects related to the molecular epidemiology of leishmaniasis, including, but not limited to, genomic epidemiology, the development, application, and validation of improved genetic markers in diagnosis and genotyping, and studies that use molecular markers and genome sequences to elucidate transmission, association with clinical presentation, new reservoir hosts or vectors, and the taxonomy of leishmaniasis.
Dr. Isabel Mauricio

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
