Gastroenteritis Viruses

Informationen zum Autor Derek J. Chadwick and Jamie A. Goode are editors for Gastroenteritis Viruses and other scientific titles. Klappentext Ein modernes Thema - vor allem angesichts der Entwicklung eines Rotavirus-Impfstoffs und der Identifizierung zahlreicher neuer Gastroenteritis-Viren. Beschrieben werden Struktur und Molekularbiologie der SSRVs wie Caliciviren und Astroviren sowie Aspekte der Pathologie der Infektion. Der interdisziplinäre Ansatz faßt Ergebnisse aus der Grundlagen- und der klinischen Forschung zusammen. Zusammenfassung This important book covers the structure and molecular biology of small round structured viruses (SSRVs) such as caliciviruses and astroviruses, and the basic pathology of infection. It provides readers with the knowledge needed to make progress in the prevention and treatment of these infections. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction (M. Estes).
