About the Collection

Virology Journal is calling for submissions to our Collection on Orthoflaviviruses: Insights into Molecular Biology, Epidemiology, and Control. Orthoflaviviruses, including Dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and West Nile viruses, are transmitted primarily by mosquitoes and ticks, causing significant health issues worldwide. Dengue alone leads to an estimated 100-400 million infections annually, with around 20,000 deaths, while yellow fever causes tens of thousands of deaths each year, mainly in Africa. Zika is linked to congenital defects like microcephaly, and West Nile virus and tick-borne encephalitis viruses can cause severe neurological complications. Addressing the global burden of these viruses highlights the critical need for advanced prevention, treatment, and control strategies. This special issue is devoted to exploring the molecular biology, epidemiology, and control of these viruses, offering essential insights into their functioning, spread, and management.

There are currently no articles in this collection.
