Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a continuation of our previous Special Issue, Advances in Alphavirus and Flavivirus Research (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/viruses/special_issues/alphavirus_flavivirus_research).
As we have seen during the last decade and the most recent pandemics, the emergence or re-emergence of zoonotic viral diseases has become one of the most important public health concerns globally. In particular, mosquito-borne viruses such as Dengue (DENV), Zika (ZIKV), and Chikungunya (CHIKV) viruses have emerged in recent decades, affecting millions of people worldwide. These alphaviruses and flaviviruses can be classified into a broader category of arboviruses, and they cause significant disease burdens and public health concerns. This Special Issue entitled “Advances in Alphavirus and Flavivirus Research” is devoted to publishing advances made in alphavirus and flavivirus research.
We welcome the submission of all types of articles, including short reports, original research, and reviews, for this Special Issue. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
