The Nidoviruses
This volume is based on the 10th International Nidovirus Symposium: Towards Control of SARS and other Nidovirus Diseases. The volume includes articles by all of the major contributors to this burgeoning area of research which summarize the work presented at the meeting. This represents the only comprehensive book to cover this field in the last five years.
The Togaviruses
The Togaviruses: Biology, Structure, Replication deals with the biology, structure, and replication of rotaviruses. This book covers topics such as the biochemistry of rotaviruses and the biological and medical challenges they pose. It also gives an account of their mechanisms of replication that might lead to perceptions of the capacity to solve biological and epidemiological problems through the concepts and technology of molecular biology. This text is comprised of 21 chapters that explore clinical details, routine procedures for diagnostic virus isolation and identification and for serological tests; immunological host responses; the role of interferons; antiviral chemotherapy; and vacci...
Unconventional Agents and Unclassified Viruses
Among unconventional agents and unclassified viruses the contributions to this volume focused on prion-related diseases, with special emphasis on bovine spongiform encephalopathy and human spongiform encephalopathies, and Borna disease virus, an agent known since long time to be pathogenic for horses and sheep, which is now discussed as a potential pathogen for humans. Additionally, the volume contains articles about newly discovered viruses like porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus and viruses that are classified only provisionally like African swine fever virus, hepatitis C and E viruses, or the arteriviruses.
Coronaviruses
Coronaviruses represent a major group of viruses of both molecular biological interest and clinical significance in animals and humans. During the past two decades, coronavirus research has been an expanding field and, since 1980, an international symposium was held every 3 years. We organized the yth symposium for providing an opportunity to assess important progresses made since the last symposium in Cambridge (U. K. ) and to suggest areas for future investigations. The symposium, held in September 1992, in Chantilly, France, was attended by 120 participants representing the majOlity of the laboratories engaged in the field. The present volume collects 75 papers which were presented during...
Coronaviruses
Coronaviruses have emerged during the past ten years from being a group of viruses causing a variety of minor veterinary and human diseases to a major virus group of both clinical significance and molecular biological interest. Against this background, two international coronavirus symposia were held in 1980 and 1983. In recent years, the pace of coronavirus research has been quickened even more by infusion of recombinant DNA technology and establishment of various animal model systems to study the pathogenesis and immunology of coronavirus infections. We therefore organized the Third International Coronavirus Symposium held at Asilomar, California in September 1986, which was attended by mo...
Current Catalog
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Viral Gastroenteritis
Rapid progress has been made in basic research of gastroenteritis viruses as well as their diagnosis and epidemiology, due to advent of highly sensitive and specific molecular detection techniques to analyse clinical materials. It is at the intersection of basic and applied clinical virology that this book wishes to make a contribution, directed towards the molecular analysis of viruses causing gastroenteritis as well as aspects of their pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, and vaccine-related research. The main emphasis is on data relating to rotaviruses, caliciviruses, astroviruses, and enteric adenoviruses. In addition, aspects of research on viruses less frequently causing diarrhoea (picornaviruses, toroviruses, picobirnaviruses, a.o.) are also presented.
Coronaviruses and Arteriviruses
Proceedings of the VIIth International Symposium held in Segovia, Spain, May 10-15, 1997
The Coronaviridae
Coronaviruses were recognized as a group of enveloped, RNA viruses in 1968 and accepted by the International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses as a separate family, the Coronaviridae, in 1975. By 1978, it had become evident that the coronavirus genomic RNA was infectious (i. e. , positive strand), and by 1983, at least the framework of the coronavirus replication strategy had been per ceived. Subsequently, with the application of recombinant DNA techniques, there have been remarkable advances in our understanding of the molecular biology of coronaviruses, and a mass of structural data concerning coronavirus genomes, mRNAs, and pro teins now exists. More recently, attention has been focuse...
