In the last years, we have experienced major advancements in the fast-growing field of Virology. Frontiers has organized a series of Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in research across the field of Virology with articles from the members of our Editorial Boards. This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Dr. Sanjuan, Specialty Chief Editor of the Viral Diversification and Evolution section, is focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of Viral Diversification and Evolution.
The Research Topic solicits brief, forward-looking contributions from editorial board members and other researchers that describe the state of the art, outlining recent developments and major accomplishments that have been achieved and that need to occur to move the field forward. Authors are encouraged to identify the greatest challenges in the sub-disciplines, and how to address those challenges. Examples of possible topics include, but are not limited to: predictability of viral evolution, real-time analysis viral evolution through massive sequencing, viral zoonoses and disease emergence, viral diversity and evolution at different scales (intra-host, inter-host etc), current challenges in viral phylogenetics and phylodynamics, viral experimental evolution, characterization of the virosphere and the viral dark matter, importance of virus-virus interactions for disease and viral evolution.
The goal of this special edition Research Topic is to shed light on the progress made in the past decade in the Viral Diversification and Evolution field, and on its future challenges to provide a thorough overview of the field. This article collection will inspire, inform and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.
This research topic is a key collection from the Insights in Virology Series, which includes:
