Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marburg virus disease (MVD) remains one of the most concerning viral hemorrhagic fevers due to its high mortality rate and limited treatment options. Caused by the Marburg virus (MARV), a member of the Filoviridae family, this disease poses a significant threat to public health, particularly in regions experiencing zoonotic spillover events and outbreaks. MARV infection is characterized by severe clinical presentations, necessitating an in-depth understanding of the virus’s epidemiology, pathogen-host interactions, immune responses, mechanisms of immune evasion, and current insights on vaccine and therapeutics development. This Special Issue on "Marburg Virus" aims to provide a comprehensive platform for current research and insights into all aspects of Marburg virus disease, from epidemiological patterns to advancements in vaccines and therapeutic interventions. Contributions that enhance our understanding of MARV immune responses, host defense mechanisms, and the public health impact are particularly encouraged. We welcome the submission of high-quality original research articles, reviews, and commentaries that address a broad range of topics, including but not limited to epidemiology, pathogen-host interactions, immune response and defense mechanisms, vaccine and therapeutic development, treatment, and public health implications. This issue is intended to serve as a comprehensive resource for researchers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers. We encourage submissions from diverse scientific disciplines, including virology, immunology, epidemiology, and public health.
