About this Research Topic
These neuroinfections can lead to very different diseases, such as meningitis and encephalitis, multifocal leukoencephalopathy, or sacaroidosis. Studying the molecular pathogenesis of neuroinfections can help us discover hub genes, prevent neuroinfections and improve the therapeutic options — such as novel targets in vaccine design. Neuroinfections have a big burden on public health, and developing strategies to prevent them, treat them, and understand their epidemiology is paramount.
In this Research Topic, we welcome various article types, including original research, case reports, short communication studies, and narrative and systematic reviews.
Topics may include but are not limited to studies focusing on:
- Prevention of neuroinfections, including timely detection and diagnosis
- Developing and implementing more efficient treatment for neuroinfections — including antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory tools
- Novel therapeutic options and cures for neuroinfections
- The aetiology of neuroinfections
- The epidemiology of neuroinfections: The burden of neuroinfections from a public health perspective
Keywords: Neurology, Neuroinfections, Neuromicrobiology, Neurovirology
