Sommario/riassunto

Hepatitis C infects 170 million people worldwide, and has been labelled the 'silent epidemic' as a result of its concealed attack on the liver. This multidisciplinary overview covers basic concepts related to the discovery of the virus, development of serological and nucleic acid tests to detect infection, the structure of the virus genome, generation of virus gene products, and proposed replication scheme. It then goes on to introduce the epidemiology, transmission, pathogenesis of infection, the development of hepatocellular carcinoma associated with chronic



virus infection, and current strategies for treatment. The book then discusses advances in cell culture systems, animal models of infection, and emerging treatments and vaccine development. Through its coverage of basic science, clinical consequences, and methods of research, this integrated and accessible account will be of immense value to biomedical scientists and clinicians alike, and a useful introduction for all those studying the virus and its effects.

Sommario/riassunto

This book is based on the public career of a highly controversial Canadian, Sam Hughes 1885?1916. He is one of the most colourful, even bizarre, figures in Canadian history.     Though he died in 1921,



his name can still conjure up controversy and not a little misunderstanding. His long career?in so many respects the quintessential story of a poor backwoods Ontario farm boy who made good by his own efforts?continues to exert a fascination that few other Canadian political figures could duplicate.     Even though there has never been a major scholarly study of Sam Hughes, historia
