Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increase in infectious diseases associated with emerging and re-emerging viruses seriously threatens global health. Scientific explorations have led to the development and production of several antiviral drugs. However, many antiviral agents are therapeutically underutilized because they exhibit high toxicity, resistance, and ineffectiveness. A strategy to overcome these limits could be the application of natural extracts and products characterized by low toxicity and a reduced ability to develop resistance against pathogens. Enhancing the development and research of novel natural antiviral extracts and products is essential in order to limit possible viral epidemics.
This Special Issue aims to collect original contributions and reviews that delve into the most recent research results related to the development of natural extracts and products with antiviral effects in order to overcome the emergency of future viral outbreaks. We invite authors to submit original manuscripts addressing all aspects of this topic.
