Dengue and Zika: Control and Antiviral Treatment Strategies
This contributed volume contains 25 chapters from leading international scientists working on dengue and Zika viruses, who came together in Praia do Tofo in Mozambique to discuss the latest developments in the fields of epidemiology, pathogenesis, structural virology, immunology, antiviral drug discovery and development, vaccine efficacy, and mosquito control programs. The meeting venue offered an opportunity to discuss current research on these flaviviruses in an idyllic setting, and also to develop first-hand appreciation of the issues in infectious diseases facing developing countries and of the research gaps in Africa. For readers, who should include basic and clinical researchers in the field and public health professionals, the chapters are organized to provide a comprehensive overview of the various topics in current dengue and Zika virus research. A unique feature of the proceedings of this meeting is the inclusion of the discussions that took place following presentations. These have been transcribed and appended to the end of the relevant chapters, and they form the “salt in the soup” of this book.
Nutrition, Metabolism and Infection
The role of nutritional status in the risk and course of infection is actively being investigated. Being involved in the normal function and modulation of all the biological processes, including the maintenance of healthy mucosal barriers and immune responses, macro - and micro - nutrients have a pleiotropic effect on the host health. During the last decade, it has been demonstrated that nutrients, or their lack of, influence the susceptibility to infection and how the metabolic changes that occur during host-pathogen interaction impact on pathogen proliferation and pathogenicity.
Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting
The analysis and sorting of large numbers of cells with a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) was first achieved some 30 years ago. Since then, this technology has been rapidly developed and is used today in many laboratories. A Springer Lab Manual Review of the First Edition: "This is a most useful volume which will be a welcome addition for personal use and also for laboratories in a wide range of disciplines. Highly recommended." CYTOBIOS
