Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Arboviruses (arthropod-borne viruses), which are transmitted through the bite of blood-feeding arthropods like mosquitoes, ticks, and sandflies, can trigger neurological disorders. These include encephalitis, paralysis, ophthalmological impairments, developmental defects, or neurological sequelae. Neurological disease caused by arboviral infections often affects young, elderly, and immunocompromised individuals and is becoming a growing public health issue globally. However, the neuropathogenesis of arboviruses is still largely unknown.
The Special Issue aims to present the latest research on all aspects of the neuropathogenesis of arboviruses. Developing a better understanding of virus–host interactions in the nervous system will be crucial for the development of new therapeutics. Manuscripts of all types are welcome, including reviews, research articles, and short communications. We look forward to your valuable contributions.
Prof. Dr. Tian Wang
