About

Significant progress has been made over the past decades in the development of new antiviral therapeutic approaches. In addition to the discovery and development of treatments for infections for which we do not yet have a strategy, the main challenge is to develop therapeutic approaches to overcome resistance mutations and toxicity of approved therapies.

Strategies currently being explored in fundamental or preclinical studies include approaches targeting viral or host factors involved in the viral cycle. Innovative strategies have emerged with the study of extracellular vesicles, miRNAs, gene editing and silencing of genes expression.

In this research topic, we will focus on different aspect of antiviral strategies included but not limited to:

- Viral targets (structure and function of viral proteins)
- Host-targeting agents
- Small molecule inhibitors
- Antibody or peptide-based virus inhibitors
- Vesicles
- miRNA
- Genes editing and silencing
- Immunomodulation

We seek contributions of original research, review, perspective, mini review as well as hypothesis and theory.
