Medical Virology
Like other biomedical sciences, medical virology has undergone a revolution of diagnostic and scientific approaches through the advent of molecular biological techniques. Developing and maintaining an appropriate mixture of classical and molecular techniques for viral analysis is one of the challenges of medical virology today, and this volume addresses these issues. Topics covered include a broad description of "classical" techniques in viral diagnosis, nucleic acid detection by extraction and hybridization, use of the polymerase chain reaction, the application of various molecular techniques to aspects of the epidemiology of virus infections, and the principles and practical approaches to the analysis of viral evolution. The book will be of interest to students, researchers and professionals in medical virologoy, particularly hospital workers, microbiology, and molecular biology.
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.
Rotaviruses
James Gray and Ulrich Desselberger have assembled a comprehensive collection of established and cutting-edge methods for studying and illuminating the structure, molecular biology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, and prevention in animal models of infection with rotaviruses, an important cause of infant morbidity and mortality. Presented by experts in the fields of animal and human rotavirus infections and rotavirus vaccine research, these readily reproducible methods detail molecular and other modern techniques, and include relevant background information and various notes to ensure reproducible and robust results. Authoritative and up-to-date, Rotaviruses: Methods and Protocols offers researchers today's benchmark compendium of experimental methods for the investigation of this medically significant virus.
Virus Taxonomy
Virus Taxonomy is a standard and comprehensive source for the classification of viruses, created by the International Committee of the Taxonomy of Viruses. The book includes eight taxonomic reports of the ICTV and provides comprehensive information on 3 taxonomic orders of viruses, 73 families, 9 subfamilies, 287 genera, and 1938 virus species. The book also features about 429 colored pictures and diagrams for more efficient learning. The text is divided into four parts, comprised of 16 chapters and presenting the following features: • Compiled data from numerous international experts about virus taxonomy and nomenclature • Organized information on over 6000 recognized viruses, illustrat...
Viral Gastroenteritis
Viral Gastroenteritis: Molecular Epidemiology and Pathogenesis provides a comprehensive review of research on viruses causing acute gastroenteritis in infants and young children, including coverage of rotaviruses, human caliciviruses, astroviruses, enteric adenoviruses, and viruses causing gastroenteritis more rarely. Includes general chapters on gastrointestinal physiology and pathophysiology, gastrointestinal immune mechanisms, immunodeficiencies and host genetics influencing susceptibility to viral gastroenteritis, and therapeutic and preventative approaches. The book also includes special sections on virus particle structures, replication cycles, pathogenesis, immunology, epidemiology, a...

Viral Gastroenteritis: Molecular Epidemiology and Pathogenesis provides a comprehensive review of research on viruses causing acute gastroenteritis in infants and young children, including coverage of rotaviruses, human caliciviruses, astroviruses, enteric adenoviruses, and viruses causing gastroenteritis more rarely. Includes general chapters on gastrointestinal physiology and pathophysiology, gastrointestinal immune mechanisms, immunodeficiencies and host genetics influencing susceptibility to viral gastroenteritis, and therapeutic and preventative approaches. The book also includes special sections on virus particle structures, replication cycles, pathogenesis, immunology, epidemiology, and preventative measures. This book covers both basic science and translational applications and is an appropriate resource for virologists, molecular biologists, epidemiologists, gastroenterologists, vaccinologists, and those with an interest in public health.
Lecture Notes on Medical Microbiology
The new edition of Lecture Notes on Medical Microbiology has been completely rewritten under the editorship of Dr Elliott. This didactic volume is clearly written and easily digested, and contains sections on bacteriology, mycology, virology, and parasitology, along with a general section on the spread of infection and use of the microbiology laboratory.
Viral Gastroenteritis
Recently, rapid developments have occurred in the field of viral gastroenteritis. This book is an update of fundamental and practical aspects of viral gastroenteritis. Among the various agents that cause viral gastroenteritis, group A rotaviruses and caliciviruses are the focus of this volume because of their clinical impact and the significance of new findings about them.
Genome Plasticity and Infectious Diseases
Comprehensive examination of the current understanding of pathogen adaptation and microevolution. • Introduces the rapidly evolving field of genome plasticity, presents the latest research findings, and explores the relevance of these findings to infection and infection control. • Compiles and analyzes current investigations on the genome fluidity of pathogenic microbes. • Explores bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites from the aspect of host genome plasticity and its impact on infection.
Viral Zoonoses and Food of Animal Origin
Since the central theme of this book is the transmission of disease agents through the food chain, we will examine influenza viruses from this perspective. Influenza A viruses are found in humans, pigs, horses, sea mammals, and also in wild aquatic and domestic birds [23]. How are they spread? Between mammals, influenza is an airborne infection, but between birds, influenza can be either an airborne or waterborne infection. Influenza viruses of aquatic birds periodically transmit to domestic birds sometimes with catastrophic effects; this transmis sion can be either airborne or waterborne. Less frequently, avian influenza viruses transmit to mammals and three to four times in the past centur...
