Zusammenfassung Virus and prion diseases are a major public health threat throughout the world. The HIV pandemic is one example of a newly emerged virus diseases! and older human viruses such as influenza still cause major health problems. This book covers the central factors that influence the pathogenicity of these infections. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Adaptive immune responses J. L. Whitton; 2.
