Neuroviral Infections : Two Volume Set

Neurotropic viruses—viral infections of the central nervous system—are often lethal. Understanding of these diseases involves understanding the interaction between the nervous system and the immune system. This book provides in-depth information about each individual virus, the diseases they cause, and the mechanisms of spread of those diseases. Addressing both clinical and basic science aspects, this two-volume set covers such diseases as polio, measles, rabies, herpes, West Nile, Japanese encephalitis, and varicella-zoster. The authors also include detailed discussions of molecular pathogenesis and host-pathogen immune interaction as well as disease detection, treatment, and prevention.

Two-Volume Set:

Neurovirology is an interdisciplinary field representing a melding of virology, clinical neuroscience, molecular pathogenesis, diagnostic virology, molecular biology, and immunology.

Neuroviral Infections: General Principles and DNA Viruses covers recent developments in the area of neuroviral infections and discusses their role in related fields such as immunology, cell biology, and molecular biology. It offers a complete discussion of the major neuroviral infections caused by DNA viruses, including information on emerging basic principles, neuroviral infections, and future challenges in virology.

Neuroviral Infections: RNA Viruses and Retroviruses presents an up-to-date overview of the general principles of infections and major neuroviral infections caused by RNA viruses and retroviruses. It is designed for virologists, specialists in infectious diseases, teachers of virology, and postgraduate students of medicine, virology, neurosciences, and immunology.
