Rhabdoviruses and Filoviruses are single-stranded, non-segmented, negative-strand RNA viruses, many of which cause significant morbidity and mortality in humans and animals. Certain members of these virus families have been used as excellent model systems to understand the molecular biology of replication, host responses to infections, and viral countermeasures. Rhabdoviruses have also been used as vaccine vectors as well as oncolytic agents.Studies on Filoviruses have now provided significant insights into how they enter susceptible cells, replicate and cause disease, and also how they evade the host's immune mechanisms. This book addresses the most recent findings on Rhabdovirus and Filovirus structure, replication mechanisms, host cell responses to virus infections and viral countermeasures. Chapters on emerging viruses as well as approaches for therapeutic interventions have also been included.This book represents an authoritative text that brings together the most recent advances on the cellular and molecular biology of Rhabdo- and Filoviruses, including mechanisms of pathogenesis.

The United States. The land of unimagined opportunities. A place of longing for many Germans for decades. This book describes why people from the Bavarian Forest emigrated to the United States from 1841 to 1931. Diverse documents from German and American archives, historical records, and maps, assembled over many years, are augmented by a wealth of authentic, fascinating letters, photographs, and diary entries from the emigrating families. Vivid conversations and meetings with present-day descendants bring the story full circle! You will experience · the hard life in the Bavarian Forest villages · the hopeful letters from America · the attempts of the authorities to thwart emigration plans · the arduous and often painful preparations for the trip · the adventure-filled, transatlantic crossing 'tween deck · the critical examinations on Ellis Island and · the difficult new beginning in the New World This book forms the basis of the exhibits in the "Born in Schiefweg" Emigration Museum in the Bavarian Forest. It also found its way into the permanent exhibition of the German Emigration Center in Bremerhaven, Germany.
Emerenz Meier, die Dichterin aus dem Bayerischen Wald ist in den in den letzten Jahren wiederentdeckt und im ersten Auswanderungsmuseum Bayerns umfassend dargestellt geworden. Die bisherige vita incognita ihrer Biographie, ihr Leben und das ihrer Familie in Chicago, wird hier erstmals anhand neuester Forschung und intensiver Kontakte zu den heutigen Nachfahren beleuchtet. Der Aufbruch der Emerenz aus dem 300-Seelen-Dorf im Bayerischen Wald, ihre Überfahrt über den Atlantik, die umfangreichen Einreiseformalitäten, ihre Ankunft in der Fremde, aber doch im Familienverband des bayerwaldlerischen Viertels in Chicago, ihr Leben mit und gegen die Familie sowie ihre Haltung zu Wirtschaft, Politik und Literatur werden mit ihren Briefen aus Amerika veranschaulicht und anhand bisher unbekannter amerikanischer Dokumente und zahlreicher Abbildungen lebendig illustriert.
Traces activities at the Hachshara farm at Ahrensdorf, near Berlin, where young German Jews were prepared in 1936-41 for life in Palestine. 302 adolescents worked at the farm for various periods and learned about agriculture. 162 of the youths managed to escape Nazi Germany and emigrate to Palestine. From 1933 Hachshara farms were organized by Jewish youth movements and the Youth Aliyah; Hechalutz served as the umbrella organization for the other youth movements. In 1934 the Hachshara movement comprised 3,600 members at 80 sites in Europe. In 1938, 32 Hachshara sites were registered and controlled by the Gestapo in Germany. The farm in Ahrensdorf was related to the Maccabi Hatzair movement. Pp. 51-249 include biographies and excerpts from memoirs of 54 former Hachshara members who had been at Ahrensdorf.
