Viruses continually evolve and adapt, posing new threats to health.
This book discusses the ecology of viruses including the emergence of devastating haemorrhagic disease, and reviews the molecular and cell biological basis of the pathogenesis of several virus diseases. An introduction is given to the mathematical analysis of recurrent epidemic virus disease, such as measles. There are also chapters on new and potential niches for virus infections in the immunocompromised, and the problem of the emergence of antiviral drug resistance in viruses for which therapies exist. Edited by D.G. Allison, P. Gilbert, H.M. Lappin-Scott and M. Wilson. Published September 2000 by Cambridge University Press .
