      <title>Reason for Retraction</title>
      <p>This is a retraction notice. <bold>VIEW THE RETRACTED ARTICLE</bold>(<ext-link xlink:href="https://doi.org/10.14302/issn.2691-8862.jvat-20-3275" ext-link-type="uri">https://doi.org/10.14302/issn.2691-8862.jvat-20-3275</ext-link>), which was published on March 21, 2020</p>
      <p>The Publisher of Journal of Current Viruses and Treatment Methodologies hereby retracts this article (DOI: 10.14302/issn.2691-8862.jvat-20-3275). After publication, evidence emerged that the corresponding author made unverifiable claims regarding affiliations, credentials, and research outputs. In addition, the peer-review process associated with this article did not meet the rigorous evaluation standards that are fundamental to scholarly publishing. Therefore, the Publisher no longer has confidence in the validity of the results and conclusions. In accordance with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines, the article will remain publicly accessible but marked clearly as RETRACTED. </p>
      <p>It is important to emphasize that this retraction is issued to protect the standards of scientific integrity. The Publisher does not tolerate practices that undermine peer review or mislead the community, and corrective action has been taken to prevent recurrence. We regret any inconvenience this may cause to our readers and reaffirm our commitment to strengthening peer-review mechanisms to ensure all future submissions undergo comprehensive, fair, and consistent evaluation prior to publication.</p>
