- Summary:
- Based on the highly successful reference work Viral Pathogenesis, this concise version can be used as an introductory text or for self-education by medical students and biologists alike. This latest edition provides a completely revised overview of the subject with new chapters on innate immunity, emerging viral diseases, and antiviral therapy. Information is presented in a format that is easy to understand with copious examples that illustrate the experimental basis of important generalizations. Used by the lead author in his graduate classes, it sets forth essential principles and discusses the role of immunity and other host defenses. The book explains how viral pathogenesis can be used for the rational development of treatment and prevention of viral diseases. The only introductory text devoted exclusively to this topic. Focuses specifically on viral pathogenesis unlike other texts where only a few chapters are devoted to the topic, A 20% expansion over the first edition, Now in four color throughout!
