Overview

Raymond P. Roos's timely new volume on Molecular Neurovirology highlights the tremendous recent advances in our understanding of viral pathogenesis. Today's researcher has a wealth of new tools, methods, and approaches for investigating the causes of viral diseases, and many of these have contributed to more effective studies of viral infections of the central nervous system. Chapters are contributed by esteemed specialists in a variety of key areas. Topics include: neurovirulence neurotropism white matter demyelination virus persistence within the CNS DNA and RNA viruses HIV/AIDS herpes viruses prion disorders measles, poliomyelitis, hepatitis, encephalitis, and leukemia viruses JC and bunyaviruses. Molecular Neurovirology is an essential resource for everyone studying the pathology, virology, neurology, and immunology of viral CNS infections. Its probing, detailed approach and the vast amount of information it supplies will have a far-reaching impact on research in this rapidly growing new area.
