BMC Infectious Diseases, in partnership with Research Square, is launching In Review. This new option provides authors with on-demand information on the status of their manuscript, enables them to share their work with funders and their research community, and allows their colleagues to comment and collaborate - all whilst their manuscript is under review.
BMC Infectious Diseases is delighted to announce the release of Human rights as social and structural drivers of sexually transmitted infections. This special issue is a collaboration between BMC Infectious Diseases and BMC International Health and Human Rights and focuses on highlighting novel studies characterizing human rights infringements as structural determinants of sexually transmitted infections.

100 years on from the influenza pandemic that claimed more than 37 million lives, Dr Michaela Nickol and Dr Jason Kindrachuk (Associate Editor at BMC Infectious Diseases) reflect upon its emergence at the time, its predilection for the young and healthy and our current level of preparedness for a future pandemic.
In this paper by Dr Kangbai et al. the authors explore both epidemiological and clinical factors associated with Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) as well as significant predictors for paediatric EVD treatment outcome.
We are recruiting new Associate Editors to join our international editorial board, helping to provide expertise on a wide range of different subject disciplines.

BMC Infectious Diseases is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of the prevention, diagnosis and management of infectious and sexually transmitted diseases in humans, as well as related molecular genetics, pathophysiology, and epidemiology.
It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of Prof Andrea De Luca, who tragically passed away on February 4th 2019 in a car accident. Prof De Luca, who was based at the University of Siena, Italy, dedicated many years of his life to clinical research on the treatment of HIV and hepatitis, HIV drug resistance, the toxicity of antiretrovirals as well as the impact of hepatitis virus co-infections.
As a valued member of our editorial board, his death is a tremendous loss to our journal, but more importantly to the field of HIV research, where his efforts and contributions will live on.
