Riassunto

The all new Concepts in Viral Pathogenesis III contains the widely praised format of presenting up-to-date information in pithy, easily read "mini-review" style and complements previous editions with contributions by leading international authorities on structure-function relationships, gene regulation, cell biology of viral infections, transgenic mice, expression of viral genes, retroviruses, and evolving concepts in viral diseases. Taken together, Volume I, II and III of Concepts in Viral Pathogenesis contain 145 unique chapters each representing the latest thinking in important areas of virology by the foremost investigators in the field. Clinicians, laboratory scientists, students, and others seeking authoritative overviews of current knowledge on the mechanism of viral diseases will welcome this valuable resource.
