Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We will launch a Special Issue in Viruses, entitled "Viral Mechanisms of Immune Evasion". The intricate interplay between viruses and host immune systems is a key determinant of viral pathogenesis and persistence. This Special Issue highlights the latest advancements in understanding how viruses subvert host defenses, providing insights into viral evolution, immune system manipulation, and potential therapeutic interventions. We welcome original research, reviews, and perspectives on mechanisms contributing to immune evasion at molecular, cellular, and systemic levels and innovative approaches to counteract these strategies. Your expertise and contributions will be instrumental in advancing our knowledge and shaping future research in this critical field.
Dr. Xiaoyong Bao
Guest Editor
