Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) known as covid-19 still causes tremendous burden on humans. This virus has many variants such as Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta. Some variants have the potential for the increased trasnsmissibility, increased virulence, or reduced effectiveness of vaccines against current vaccines.
We need to develop better vaccine for protecting people from being infected from emerging variants SARS-CoV2 and anti-viral drugs to treat humans infected with SARS-CoV2. The goal of this special issue is to publish new approach to vaccines and anti-viral drugs for SARS-CoV2. Interesting researchers are encouraged to submit short reports, and full papers based on animal studies and human clinical trials.
