Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Foodborne transmission has been described as a transmission mode for many different viruses and has been documented for species belonging to at least 10 different families. Foodborne viruses are associated with a wide variety of symptoms in humans, ranging from mild diarrhea to severe neurological symptoms. Foodborne transmission can occur through contamination of food by infected food handlers, contamination of food during the production process and consumption of products of animal origin harbouring zoonotic viruses. A deeper understanding of the molecular principles underlying these basic physiological processes, biological functions and interactions with animals, foods and humans is very important to better control the spread of these viruses. This Special Issue will cover a selection of recent research topics and current review articles in the field of molecular microbiology underlying foodborne transmitted viruses.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Microbiology Research is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
