The 2018 cover artist for The Lancet Infectious Diseases is Kouzou Sakai, who replaces Andrew Lyons. We thank Andrew for his colourful and striking covers that have helped The Lancet Infectious Diseases to be easily recognisable among the medical journals throughout 2017. Personally, it has been a great pleasure working with Andrew, and the arrival of the sketches for the new cover was always an eagerly awaited moment each month.
