Sommario/riassunto

This book focuses on the etiological role of human polyomaviruses in cancer and highlights the mechanisms by which the viral regulatory proteins may contribute to neoplastic transformation of the infected host cells. Possible therapeutic strategies against these viruses will also be discussed.
