Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global elimination of viral hepatitis remains a critical public health goal, with hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis D virus (HDV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) representing significant challenges to healthcare systems worldwide. Despite advancements in diagnostics, antiviral therapies, and vaccination programs, substantial gaps remain in achieving the World Health Organization's elimination targets by 2030.
This Special Issue invites cutting-edge research, reviews, and perspectives focusing on innovative strategies, barriers, and opportunities in the fight against HBV, HDV, and HCV. Topics of interest include but are not limited to novel diagnostic tools, therapeutic approaches, vaccination strategies, epidemiological insights, and public health policies aimed at prevention and elimination.
By bringing together a diverse collection of studies, we aim to foster collaboration across disciplines and provide actionable insights that can accelerate the elimination of these debilitating infections. We welcome contributions from clinicians, researchers, and public health experts to shed light on the current state of hepatitis elimination and the road ahead.
Dr. Federico Garcia
