Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It has been fifty years since the first viroid was discovered in 1971. Through the efforts of the first and second generation of viroidologists, there has been great progress in the viroid research. Yet as time goes by, some of these veterans have passed away, and the rest would also gradually withdraw from the historical stage of viroid research. In this special moment, Viruses established a Special Issue called Viroid 2022, aiming to look back to the accomplishment of the half-century history of viroid research, and at the same time, raise the awareness of this new type subviral agent and related diseases, especially among the young biologists.
