Second Edition
By
Neal Nathanson, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, U.S.A.
Description
Based on the highly successful reference work Viral Pathogenesis published in 1997, this concise, economical version can be used
both as an introductory text or for self-education by medical students and biologists alike. This latest edition provides a completely
revised overview of the subject with new chapters on innate immunity, emerging viral diseases, and antiviral therapy in a format that
is easy to understand without continually referring to additional information. Used by the author in his graduate classes at the University
of Pennsylvania, it sets forth the essential principles and discusses the details of how the immune system responds to viral invasion
including the treatment and prevention of infection. Illustrated by pertinent examples it is one of the only books devoted exclusively
to this topic.
Audience
Instructors and students of graduate or medical school course in viral pathogenesis, virology or microbiology. Can also be used as a reference
for professionals, students and trainees in virology, immunology, infectious diseases, pathology, laboratory medicine, epidemiology and
public health.
