About this Research Topic
This series aims to highlight the latest experimental techniques and methods used to investigate fundamental questions in Pediatric Infectious Diseases. Review articles or opinions on methodologies or applications including the advantages and limitations of each are welcome. This Topic includes technologies and up-to-date methods which help advance science.
The contributions to this collection will undergo peer-review. Novelty may vary, but the utility of a method or protocol must be evident. Submissions will be handled by the team of Topic Editors in the respective sections.
This Research Topic welcomes:
• Original research: basic, translational, clinical, and pharmaceutical research following corresponding protocols
• Methods: Describing either new or existing methods that are significantly improved or adapted for specific purposes. These manuscripts may include primary (original) data.
• Protocols: Detailed descriptions, including pitfalls and troubleshooting, to benefit those who may evaluate or employ the techniques. The protocols must be proven to work.
• Perspective or General Commentaries on methods and protocols relevant for physiology research.
• Reviews and mini-reviews of topical methods and protocols highlighting the important future directions of the field.
We welcome contributions focusing on, but not limited to, the following topics:
• Vaccine Development and Efficacy: Innovations in vaccine technology, effectiveness in different populations, and strategies to overcome vaccine hesitancy.
• Antibiotic Resistance: Mechanisms of resistance, development of new antibiotics, and alternative therapeutic strategies.
• Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases: Surveillance, prevention, and treatment of new and re-emerging pathogens affecting children.
• Host-Pathogen Interactions: Understanding the molecular and cellular interactions between pathogens and the pediatric immune system.
• Diagnostic Techniques: Advances in rapid, accurate, and non-invasive diagnostic methods.
• Epidemiology and Public Health: Studies on the spread of infectious diseases, impact of public health interventions, and strategies for disease prevention and control.
• Immunotherapy and Biologics: Development and application of immunotherapies and biologic treatments for pediatric infectious diseases.
• Global Health and Infectious Diseases: Addressing infectious diseases in low-resource settings, global health initiatives, and disparities in health outcomes.
• Chronic and Long-term Effects of Infections: Research on the long-term impacts of infectious diseases on child health and development.
• Microbiome and Infectious Diseases: Investigating the role of the microbiome in health and disease, and its potential as a therapeutic target.
We look forward to receiving high-quality contributions that reflect the dynamic and evolving nature of pediatric infectious disease research, aiming to push the boundaries of current knowledge and improve patient outcomes.
This Research Topic is a follow-up volume to
"Methods in Pediatric Infectious Diseases 2022".
