Molecular Research on Emerging Viruses: Evolution, Diagnostics, Pathogenesis, and Therapeutics 2018-01-30 .txt text/plain 1475 84 42 The recent epidemics caused by Zika virus and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) clearly illustrate the ability of emerging viruses to pose huge public health problems within a short time. In this special issue, "Molecular Research on Emerging Viruses: Evolution, Diagnostics, Pathogenesis, and Therapeutics", insights into advances and discoveries in understanding the different aspects of various emerging viruses are given by eight original studies and four review articles. Three articles focus on arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) which are important emerging pathogens having caused various epidemics in recent years. In the systematic review and meta-analysis study by Coelho et al., the prevalence of microcephaly in infants born to Zika virus-infected women among all pregnancies was estimated [6] , which may contribute to the understanding of the public health impact of this emerging arbovirus. Two articles report on the virus-host interaction during porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection which causes severe losses in the swine industry worldwide. ./cache/cord-275570-i9fw0afj.txt ./txt/cord-275570-i9fw0afj.txt
