We welcome submissions of Original Research, Review, Mini Review, Opinion, Perspective and Correspondence focusing on the following points:
- Epidemiology and genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2;
- Reverse genetics studies to identify molecular markers of virulence and transmissibility;
- Host genetics markers of susceptibility and resistance to infection;
- Immunity and immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 vaccines;
- Development of in vitro, ex vivo, in vivo, and alternative models for studying SARS-CoV-2;
- SARS-CoV-2 replication mechanisms through host–virus interactions;
- Transmission and pathogenesis mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2
- SARS-CoV-2 infection in several different animal species;
- Immunity and immune response to SARS-CoV-2,
- Development of novel tests for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 and their related emerging variants;
-Formulations to improve the safety and efficacy of vaccines and antivirals;
