Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce our upcoming Special Issue on the "Molecular Mechanisms of Viral Infection in Pregnancy". Pregnancy is a critical period in which viral infection can significantly impact maternal and fetal health. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive review of the latest developments in pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, prevention, and treatment in the field of pregnancy and viral infections.
We welcome original research, review articles, short communications, perspectives, and opinions, and encourage authors to submit papers addressing viral infections that affect pregnant women, such as SARS-CoV-2, Zika virus, cytomegalovirus, influenza, rubella, HSV, HIV, HBV, and other emerging viral infections. This Special Issue will cover a broad range of topics, including, but not limited to:
- New insights into the pathophysiology of viral infections in pregnancy.
- The molecular mechanisms of viral infections during pregnancy, fetal development, and breastfeeding, and neonatal outcomes.
- Molecular diagnosis, management, prevention, and control of viral infections during pregnancy.
- Antiviral therapy and vaccine development.
We invite authors to submit their manuscripts using our online submission system. Please contact us if you have any questions, and we look forward to receiving your contributions to this Special Issue, which we hope will serve as a comprehensive resource for the medical and scientific communities.
Dr. Quang Duy Trinh
Guest Editor
