Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Pathogenic agents can cause various infectious diseases when they enter the bodies of humans and animals, and can spread through water, air, soil, and physical contact. These infectious diseases are major public health problems. The molecular epidemiology of pathogenic agents enables us to observe and analyze the frequency of infectious diseases from the perspectives of pathogens, transmission routes, susceptible hosts, etc. This knowledge is important for revealing the mechanisms and control of pathogenic infectious diseases.
This Special Issue aims to provide the latest findings on various aspects of pathogenic agents’ epidemiology. We invite experts from around the world to submit research articles or review articles related to this important topic.
Dr. Maria Antonia De Francesco
Guest Editor
