Global Virology I - Identifying and Investigating Viral Diseases

Editat de Paul Shapshak, John T. Sinnott, Charurut Somboonwit, Jens H. Kuhn
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 iul 2015
This book provides trajectories and illustrations of viruses that have catapulted into the global arena (linked to humans, animals, and vectors) due to human behaviors in recent years, as well as viruses that have already shown expansion among humans, animals, and vectors just a few decades ago. Topics in the current book include:
  • vaccines
  • environmental impact
  • emerging virus transmission
  • Filovirus (Ebola)
  • hemorrhagic fevers
  • flaviviruses
  • Dengue evasion
  • papillomaviruses
  • Hepatitis C
  • Nipah virus
  • giant viruses
  • hantaviruses
  • bunyaviruses
  • encephalitides
  • West Nile virus
  • Zika virus
  • XMRV
  • henipaviruses
  • human respiratory syncytial virus
  • influenza A virus
  • several aspects of HIV-1
