Emerging Human Viral Diseases, Volume I (eBook)

The first volume of the book-Emerging Human Viral diseases presents pathogenesis, diagnostics, and therapeutic strategies against viral respiratory and hemorrhagic fever diseases. The initial chapter discusses the underlying factors contributing to the emergence of these viral diseases. The subsequent chapters introduce structure, composition, and organization of viral genomes, and provide insight into function of important viral proteins. It also discusses the host factors that influence the outcome of viral infection and host immune response to the infections caused by these viruses. The book also discusses clinical manifestation and strategies for the prevention of virus diseases and highlights the recent technical advances in the diagnosis of virus diseases, prevention, and control strategies for viral infections.

This timely book offers valuable resource for the scientists working in the field of emerging viral infections and those involved in preventing, controlling, and managing viral diseases.
