About this Research Topic
In recent years, the family Parvoviridae has dramatically increased in novel genera, particularly the subfamily Parvoviridae currently numbering ten. In addition, the discovery of novel parvoviruses (PVs) in different animal species has been achieved thanks to advances in molecular biology techniques such as metagenomics. These discoveries open up many possibilities and the need for scientific answers. From the point of view of their involvement in disease, novel PVs have been found in both diseased and healthy individuals; additionally, it is common to find them in coinfection with other viruses, and their ability to cross interspecies barriers is also questioned. Therefore, in addition to the above, it is necessary to know about the pathogenesis of these novel PVs and the mechanisms of infection and evasion of the immune system, understanding how they could generate disease. Likewise, the novel PVs could eventually be incorporated as a therapeutic arsenal in cancer-related diseases.
This call aims to compile up-to-date information on PVs, emphasizing novel PVs and variants of the traditional ones, both in humans and in other animal species. That information can be in research articles, brief reports, short communications, and reviews. With this information, we want to build a document that, as a whole, is a material that fundamentally serves two things, one, establish the current situation of PVs in terms of evolution (variants and novel parvoviruses), jumping of interspecies barriers, co-infections, pathogenesis, disease manifestation and their use as therapeutic agents. Second, based on the proposed results and reviews, the importance of PVs in the international research landscape on all animal species is put into perspective. With the above, we want to build a reference document for researchers on the subject and those who want to address PVs research.
Through the topic "Novel parvoviruses and their participation in clinical syndromes" we want to summon researchers from all continents who have contributed and are contributing to the knowledge about PVs. In the topic we want to include research and reviews on novel PVs and on the variants of those we already know. We invite researchers who work with PVs in all animal species since we want to integrate the behavior of these pathogens to serve as a comparative element and as a contribution to research developments on the subject. Within the topic we want to have material on novel PVs, viral evolution, pathogenesis, co-infections, clinical manifestations and use of these viruses in therapeutics. Thus, we await your contribution to build a reference document on the pathogens that unite us: parvoviruses.
Types of manuscripts:
• Research articles
• Reviews
• Case reports
• Short communications
