Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Human infectious disease outbreaks caused by emerging viruses have increased in frequency over the last decade. Novel highly pathogenic viruses have been identified and known ones have caused outbreaks elsewhere, increasing the number of endemic areas. There are currently only a few licensed vaccines and therapeutics available to counter viruses in this category, necessitating more efforts to increase preparedness for known and unknown emerging infectious disease outbreaks.
In this Special Issue, we wish to publish reviews and research articles documenting the current knowledge on highly pathogenic viruses. We encourage manuscripts addressing aspects of One Health regarding animal and human disease and pathogenesis, the public health impact and epidemiology, the ecology and potential reservoir species as well as the mode of transmission, animal model development, and the status of countermeasure development including vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics.

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).
