Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Achievements and failures of the modern world like globalization, urbanization, climate change, and ecological disruption, together with the adaptable nature of viruses, pose new threats like the emergence and spread of new viruses or the re-emergence of already known pathogens. These phenomena are a great challenge to the modern veterinary virology. However, currently new technologies and concepts allow novel approaches in diagnostics and multifactorial analyses of pathogens' biology as well as give better insight in their interaction with the host. All these efforts lead to a better understanding of viral pathogenesis, providing the key knowledge for the development of new prevention or treatment strategies.
This Special Issue is dedicated to recent research in the field of animal viruses. We cordially invite scientists to contribute their original studies, communications, or review articles focused on the following:
- Diagnostics;
- Pathogenesis;
- (Immuno)pathology;
- Epidemiology;
- Virus–host interactions;
- Omics and metabolomics aspects;
- Virus evolution;
- Prophylaxis and prevention strategies;
- Zoonotic potential.

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. Pathogens is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
