About this Research Topic
This special issue aims to address the growing global threat of infectious diseases. Microbial resistance has become a major public health concern with the emergence of drug-resistant infections such as MRSA and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, as well as the transmission of vector-borne animal diseases such as avian influenza and rabies. Additionally, this issue aims to present the latest research and innovations in understanding, innovating under, and dealing with these threats, which continue to pose challenges due to their virulence.
To achieve this goal, we seek contributions exploring alternative therapies, including novel antibiotics and antifungal agents, as well as therapies such as phage therapy and immunotherapy. Research focusing on mechanisms of infection, pathogen-pathogen communication, and the role of the microbiome in disease progression is also encouraged. Through cutting-edge research collections and fostering collaboration, this special issue aims to advance our understanding and management of infectious disease
This special issue, "Advances in Infectious Disease Research: Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance, Zoonoses, and More," invites contributions that address the broad spectrum of challenges and innovations in infectious disease research. We seek original research articles, reviews, and case studies focusing on:
Bacterial infections
Viruses
Parasites
Fungi
Enteric infections
MRSA and other staphylococci
Streptococci
HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections
Respiratory infections
Tuberculosis and other mycobacteria
Antimicrobial resistance
Meningitis/encephalitis
Vector-borne infections
Zoonoses
Malaria
Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts that explore novel therapeutic approaches, diagnostic advancements, pathogen transmission mechanisms, host-pathogen interactions, and the role of the microbiome in disease progression. By encompassing a diverse range of infectious diseases and innovative research, this special issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview and foster interdisciplinary collaboration to advance our understanding and management of infectious diseases globally.
