Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 pandemic, which was triggered by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, led to a global health crisis that claimed millions of lives. Despite its large population and limited healthcare resources, the African continent experienced less impacts than initially predicted. This observation raises questions about the role of prevalent tropical diseases in Africa in shaping the trajectory of the pandemic. The interplay between tropical infections and COVID-19 may have affected disease outcomes and the efficacy of vaccinations.
Beyond the scope of COVID-19, this Special Issue aims to discuss the interactions between endemic infections in tropical countries and the course of disease. We are particularly interested in understanding how these tropical co-infections modulate the course and treatment of these diseases. We seek contributions that examine the role of vaccines and tropical co-infections in epidemiology, clinical diagnostics, and disease management.
We encourage submissions that offer novel insights into these complex interactions and their implications for public health. We welcome original research, brief reports, systematic reviews, letters to the editor, opinion pieces, and perspectives.
Our goal is to foster a comprehensive understanding of these critical issues, and we believe that your contribution can significantly aid this endeavor. We look forward to your submissions.
