Overview

This volume presents a contemporary account of lyssaviruses, a medically relevant group of rhabdoviruses. An international group of authors provides a unique perspective on the basic and applied aspects of lyssavirus biology, from the time of Pasteur into the next century. Included are all relevant aspects, such as epizootiology, taxonomy, molecular biology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and virus control. The book should be beneficial to virologists, infectious disease specialists and veterinarians.
