Immun Path Pers Virus Infectio
Virus persistence is little understood, but is a critically important aspect of numerous diseases, including viral hepatitis, AIDS, and herpes virus infections. Many of these persistent viruses may lie dormant in the human body, but may be reactivated in response to some stimulus; this fact is especially important when the human host is receiving immunosuppressive therapy - for example, following transplant surgery - or is otherwise immunocompromised, as in AIDS patients. Immunobiology and Pathogenesis of Persistent Virus Infections distills state-of-the-art research in the area of persistent virus infections. A distinguished group of contributing virologists explore the mechanisms by which various viruses, including HIV-1, herpes, measles, retroviruses, hepatitis, and lentiviruses, persist within the human host. The book considers viral persistence on three separate levels: persistence within the cell; persistence within the human individual; and persistence within the human population. Genetic changes associated with virus persistence are reviewed, and intervention strategies are discussed.
Avian Influenza
Because of its high impact on both animal and human health, avian influenza has become a matter of increasing public concern and growing scientific interest within the last decade. This volume gives an overview of the most important results of these research efforts and provides information about the ecology and epidemiology of avian influenza with particular emphasis on recent H5N1 outbreaks in China, Siberia and Europe. Several articles deal with new vaccination strategies, the use of antivirals and other control measures to combat outbreaks of avian influenza. Further chapters illustrate that molecular biology, culminating in the generation of influenza viruses by recombinant DNA technolo...
Smallpox
Looks at the history of the smallpox virus, providing an overview of the political, biological, environmental, medical, and legal issues surrounding the question of whether or not the virus should be exterminated.

History of Arbovirology: Memories from the Field
These books bring together a panel of expert arbovirologists who recall the history of arbovirology from very personal perspectives. In these timely volumes, the authors describe seminal moments in their experiences in the field and how they integrated these findings with lab studies to further clarify the ecology and epidemiology of diverse arboviruses. Authors identify the most pressing questions that remain to be answered, providing a basis for current research and a stimulus to engage those entering the field. Over the last 20 years a generational gap has developed between the giants of arbovirus research and discovery and the new generation. This gap developed due to an ebbing of traini...
