About this Research Topic
The study of sero-epidemiology and molecular epidemiology offers crucial insights into the distribution, transmission, and evolution of human pathogens. Emerging and tropical diseases, influenced by factors such as climate change, urbanization, and global travel, pose ongoing threats to global public health. Comprehending epidemiological trends and developing effective diagnostics and intervention strategies are vital for controlling these rapidly evolving diseases.
The rise of emerging and tropical human pathogens poses a significant global health challenge, marked by increasing incidence and widespread impact on populations. These pathogens often evade current diagnostic methods and control measures, leading to outbreaks that strain healthcare systems and result in substantial morbidity and mortality. To address this urgent issue, we aim to explore and integrate recent advances in sero-epidemiology and molecular epidemiology. By leveraging new molecular techniques, enhanced serological surveys, and innovative public health interventions, we can better understand pathogen dynamics, improve diagnostic accuracy, and develop effective control and prevention strategies. This special edition seeks to compile groundbreaking research that advances our knowledge and offers practical solutions to mitigate the impact of these pathogens on global health.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and case studies addressing these themes (sero-epidemiology, molecular epidemiology, emerging and tropical pathogens, population level studies, impact of climate change on tropical diseases, diagnostic, control, and prevention). Submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure high-quality publications that contribute to global health efforts. For submission guidelines and additional information, please visit our journal's website. Join us in advancing epidemiological research and enhancing global health resilience.
