Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the continuation of our previous Special Issue, entitled “Diagnosis, Characterization and Treatment of Emerging Pathogens”.
Emerging infectious diseases are perhaps the most rapidly spreading diseases. SARS-CoV-2 has infected 556 million people and caused more than 6 million deaths worldwide. To date, the effects of this virus are still resonating worldwide. Recently, the monkeypox virus emerged and spread to more than 30 countries over the course of about one month. Concurrently, many other pathogens have emerged, including malaria, Zika virus, dengue, Ebola, West Nile virus, and diarrheagenic E. coli, all of which threaten the health of billions of people worldwide. To help in the fight against these emerging infectious diseases, we aim to collect manuscripts focusing on emerging pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and fungi.
The areas of interest could include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel methods and strategies for the early detection of emerging pathogens;
- The characterization of specific genes or protein targets for the detection or treatment of emerging pathogens;
- Novel agents to inhibit emerging pathogens.
