Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) are infectious diseases whose incidence has increased recently (in the past 20 years) and could increase in the near future. The minority that are capable of developing efficient transmission between humans can become major public and global concerns as potential causes of epidemics or pandemics. Their many impacts can be economic and societal as well as clinical. EIDs have been increasing steadily since at least 1940. For every decade since 1940, there has been a consistent increase in the number of EID events from wildlife-related zoonosis.
This Special Issue, “Emerging Infections: Epidemiology, Diagnostics, Clinics and Evolution”, will collect articles in the field of EIDs, epidemiology of infectious diseases, including biomedical, environmental and clinical aspects, and developments in new preventive strategies to increase and maintain a high level of monitoring in emerging and re-emerging pathogens in nearly real time.
Researchers are welcome to send short papers, original articles and reviews for submission to the Editorial Office for evaluation of their suitability.
