Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of infectious diseases and the emergence of new pathogens highlight the urgent need for advancements in pathogen diagnosis and discovery. As we enter the post-COVID era, the importance of timely and accurate identification of infectious agents becomes increasingly clear, especially in light of global health challenges. This "Current Advances in Pathogen Diagnosis and Discovery Methods" collection will provide a crucial platform for researchers and practitioners to share innovative methodologies, technologies, and findings in this evolving field. It aims to promote collaboration, disseminate innovative research, and emphasize integrating novel diagnostic approaches with surveillance and response initiatives. By uniting diverse perspectives and expertise, this initiative will enhance our understanding of pathogen dynamics and contribute to developing new diagnostic solutions, ultimately improving global health outcomes.
