Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue on “Microbial Infections and Host Immunity” aims to shed light on the intricate interactions between microbial pathogens and the host immune system. This Special Issue seeks to explore the latest advancements in the understanding the mechanisms behind microbial infections and the corresponding host immune responses. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that investigate the pathogenesis of various microbial infections, the development of novel treatment strategies, and the host immune system’s role in combating these infections. We encourage submissions that tackle fundamental questions in microbiology and immunology, as well as those that offer clinical insights relevant to human health. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue, this Special Issue endeavours to contribute to the growing body of knowledge in microbial infections and host immunity. Submissions are expected to provide valuable contributions to the academic community, advancing our understanding of these interrelated fields.

Dr. Andrew Foey
Guest Editor
