Anaerobe
More Less
Anaerobic clinical microbiology remains a challenge due to specialist culture requirements, coupled with the increase in and spread of antimicrobial resistance. The normal human microbiota is primarily composed of anaerobic bacteria, and is now recognised as a source of life-threatening anaerobic infection. More recent metataxonomic and metagenomic sequencing has extended interest in the potential role of the microbiota in a plethora of other aspects of human health, from obesity to mental health. In addition, the successful use of faecal microbiota transplants for the treatment of clostridial infection raises potential unchartered long-term consequences and possibilities.
In conjunction with Anaerobe 2019 and Anaerobe 2021, this collection will provide scientific insights into the future impact of anaerobic bacteria in human health and disease, addressing the implications of recent microbiota studies as well as the continued threat of emerging and re-emerging anaerobic infection.
This collection is open for submissions – please submit your article here, stating that your manuscript is part of the Anaerobe collection.

Arboviruses and their Vectors
More Less
Curated by Journal of General Virology Editor Dr Eng Eong Ooi (Duke NUS Medical School) and Advisory Board Member Dr Esther Schnettler (Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine), this collection presents the latest advances in arbovirus research. This collection was launched in conjuction with IMAV 2017 and in line with IMAV 2019 welcomes submissions of original research articles, Insight Reviews and full-length Reviews.

Avian Infectious Diseases
More Less
Infectious diseases continue to threaten the sustainability, productivity and growth of the poultry industry worldwide and some present a risk to public health. Many are also present in wild bird populations, with the potential to spill over into domestic birds.
Previously curated by Professor Paul Britton and Dr Mike Skinner, in line with the ‘Pathogenesis and Molecular Biology of Avian Viruses’ Focused Meeting, this collection and the Focused Meeting have been expanded to include bacteria and parasites.
Guest-edited by organisers of the Avian Infectious Diseases 2021 Focused Meeting, Dr Holly Shelton (The Pirbright Institute) and Dr Andrew Broadbent (The Pirbright Institute and University of Maryland), this collection presents high-quality work from Journal of General Virology and Journal of Medical Microbiology on important avian pathogens: their interactions with the host, cell biology, molecular epidemiology and methods of control.This collection is open for submissions in both participating journals, Journal of General Virology and Journal of Medical Microbiology.
