Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emerging and re-emerging viruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), pandemic and avian influenza A viruses, Zika virus, Ebola virus, and monkeypox virus have caused outbreaks of various scales associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and socioeconomic disruptions in the past two decades. Optimal surveillance systems, diagnostics, treatments, vaccines, and non-pharmaceutical public health measures are essential for limiting the detrimental impact of these viral diseases. In this Special Issue of Pathogens, we invite investigators to submit original research and review articles on the following aspects of emerging and re-emerging viral infections:
(i) Discovery of viruses with clear evidence of relevance to human and/or animal health;
(ii) New diagnostics;
(iii) Novel antiviral treatments;
(iv) Vaccines;
(v) Non-pharmaceutical control measures.
We look forward to your contributions.
