Transmission and Infection of Arboviruses – Volume II

Due to the remarkable success of the Research Topic 'Transmission and Infection of Arboviruses' and the rapidly evolving subject area, we are pleased to launch Volume II for this topic.

Worldwide, the most important arboviruses are chikungunya, dengue, Japanese encephalitis, Mayaro, West Nile, Zika, and Ross River viruses. A significant public health threat is posed by these viruses around the world, which threaten more than 3.6 billion people. In recent decades, scientists have revealed many issues with arboviruses and established approaches, allowing us to fight the diseases more effectively. However, old and new problems continue to haunt us, motivating us to develop new approaches to fight these diseases. A growing number of arboviruses have been detected in different regions of the world, emphasizing the need to better understand how these viruses are transmitted and infect.

There is an urgent need to understand all aspects of arbovirus transmission and infection. These include molecular mechanisms, macro-analysis, epidemiology, experimental models, vaccines, vector competence, and antiviral drugs. This Research Topic aims to establish new concepts and approaches to control arboviruses by uncovering new insights and the latest research innovations in arbovirus transmission and infection. In this second volume of the Research Topic, we welcome submissions of Original Research articles, Reviews and Mini-reviews on the following subtopics, which include but are not limited to:

1. Experimental infection studies revealing arbovirus adaptation and evolution;
2. Genomic and proteomic studies of arbovirus isolates from vectors/hosts examining the overall evolution of arboviruses in nature;
3. Entry and infection factors and pathways following arbovirus transmission and infection in nature;
4. Epidemiological studies of arboviruses in vector and/or host including ecological data;
5. Computational biology approaches to uncover arboviruses infection and transmission;
6. Development of vaccines and antiviral modalities against arboviruses.
