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. 606 $aHepatitis C 606 $aHepatitis C virus 615 0$aHepatitis C. 615 0$aHepatitis C virus. 676 $a616.3/623 700 $aFeitelson$b Mark$01037718 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449972603321 996 $aHepatitis C virus$92458849 997 $aUNINA
