Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The pathogen–host interplay includes a fine molecular stream of pathways. These interactions determine whether a pathogen will overcome the host immune response driving the emergence of the symptoms associated with the disease and with different possible clinical outcomes. It should be noted that there are different gaps in our knowledge on the virus–host immune response relationship and it is fundamental to fill these gaps in order to design efficient vaccines and therapies. The present Special Issue seeks to improve the current body of literature by accepting all works exploring the virus–host interaction spanning from human to animal viruses that potentially represent a global health threat. All papers including in vitro infection systems, characterisation of the anti-viral immune responses and molecular characterisation of the virus–host interactions will be considered for publication in this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
