Special Issue on Communicable Diseases

A communicable disease is a disease that is transmitted either through direct contact with an infected individual or indirectly through a vector. Methods of transmission include mucus, blood, breath, saliva and sexual contact. Because communicable diseases can have so much impact on the population, the surveillance and control of such diseases is an important part of protecting the public's health.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Communicable Diseases. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• HIV/AIDS
• Influenza
• Malaria
• Papillomavirus
• Salmonella
• Vaccines and immunzation
• Vector-borne diseases
• Viral hepatitis
• Zoonotic diseases

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Communicable Diseases” should be selected during your submission.
