Special Issue on Influenza Research
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that
seasonal influenza is responsible
for an average of more than 20,000 deaths annually. As an infectious disease of
birds and mammals caused by RNA virus, influenza transmits through the air by creating
aerosols containing the virus. The most common symptoms are chills, fever and headache,
so it is often confused with common cold and delay the treatment. Since influenza virus evolves rapidly
and causes mass mortality, further study on influenza seems to be severe but meaningful to researchers.
In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and
authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring influenza research. Potential topics
include, but are not limited to:
-
Types of influenza
-
Signs and symptoms of influenza
-
Causes and mechanism of influenza
-
Influenza virus
-
Transmission routes and vectors
-
Diagnosis of influenza
-
Vaccine and antiviral drugs of influenza
-
Prevention and prognosis of influenza
-
Cases of influenza
Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an
electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper
Submission System.
Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript
title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Influenza
Research” should be
chosen during your submission.
