Riassunto

A comprehensive survey of the most recent discoveries in this field.

• Provides a platform of knowledge that will lead to the development of more effective methods for controlling the spread of RNA viruses or modifying their disease course.
• Synthesizes recent findings in this fast-moving field while also reviewing accepted knowledge.
• Focuses on the antiviral signaling pathways in the host, including specific pattern recognition receptors and how these cellular alarms signal the innate immune response.
• Examines the ways in which specific major RNA virus families interact with, activate, and elude these signaling pathways and responses.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Infections with RNA viruses represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in vertebrates. This volume is written with the belief that a careful examination of the early host responses to these RNA virus infections, as well as of the mechanisms adopted by these viruses to evade early host antiviral responses, will provide a platform of knowledge on which we will be able to develop new and more effective methods for controlling the spread of RNA viruses or modifying their disease course.
