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...

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

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...

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

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.

Modulation of Host Gene Expression and Innate Immunity by Viruses

This book is an excellent, up-to-date reference on a relatively young area of research in which virology, cellular biology and molecular pathogenesis govern the principles of coinvestigation. Thus, the book will be of great interest to virologists, molecular immunologists and biologists, and biochemists but also to clinical pharmacologists in the long-term search for new antiviral agents. Ulrich Desselberger, Gif-sur-Yvette/Cambridge. Infection of a naïve (non-immune) host with a virus elicits an immediate response which results in a cascade of changes in the host, including an interferon response (innate immunity). The outcome of this interaction is influenced by the genes of the virus as ...
