Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Virology research in Austria continues to span a range of viruses, hosts, and diseases. In 2020, the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic introduced a new focus for research in virology and its related disciplines. Existing state-of-the-art research on viruses affecting humans, animals, plants, and microorganisms joined forces in 2020 with a variety of other biomedical and non-biomedical disciplines as a response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The goal of this Special Issue is to engage virology researchers in Austria working on viruses infecting humans, animals, arthropods, plants, or bacteriophages to publish their state-of-the-art virology research as original research articles or short communications. Reviews are also welcome. We hope to be able to cover many different aspects including, but not limited to, the following topics: SARS-CoV-2, human and animal viruses, plant viruses, insect viruses, bacterial viruses, vaccines, antivirals, viral immunology, molecular virology, clinical virology, epidemiology and evolution.
