Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has highlighted how public health and global health research is now more crucial than ever. The WHO itself in 2019 listed both vaccine hesitancy and multidrug-resistant organisms, together with climate change and communicable diseases (HIV, Ebola, Dengue), among its 10 current threats to global health. 1.5 million lives could be saved each year by achieving optimal vaccination coverage, and even more worrying are the WHO predictions that in 2050 we could reach 10 million deaths/year due to antimicrobial resistance.
Given the need to increase scientific knowledge in these areas, in this Special Issue of Biologics we are inviting manuscripts on all aspects of public health emergencies and threats. These may be inherent to bacterial/viral vaccines (safety, efficacy, effectiveness, vaccine hesitancy/confidence) or antimicrobial resistance (diagnostics, therapies, surveillance, response) but not limited to these. The call is open to both research articles and reviews.
