Research on the Prevention and Infection Mechanisms of Transboundary Viruses
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Our Topic focuses on the prevention and infection mechanisms of transboundary viruses. A transboundary virus is a virus that can be transmitted between two or more species. Different animals have receptors for specifc viruses on their cell surfaces, and if a virus is able to recognise the receptors on multiple animals at the same time, then it can achieve the infection of multiple species, i.e., cross-species transmission. The new coronavirus, for example, is able to bind to ACE2 in humans and also in animals such as pangolins and bats, so that it can infect multiple species. Of course, this phenomenon could be natural or the virus could have developed this ability by mutation. Our Topic includes research on infection mechanisms, virus identification, virus isolation, epidemiology, testing methods, and vaccine development.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
