Bode and H. Ludwig. 330 $aViruses continually evolve and adapt, posing new threats to health. This book discusses the ecology of viruses with particular emphasis on the emergence of devastating haemorrhagic disease, and reviews the molecular and cell biological basis of the pathogenesis of several virus diseases. An introduction is given to the mathematical analysis of recurrent epidemic virus disease, such as measles. Neurological and psychological disease is discussed in relation to the pathological mechanisms that may underlie prion disease (such as new variant CJD) and to the possible virus involvement in human psychiatric illness. Virus infections that have come to prominence recently (HIV, bunyaviruses, morbilliviruses and caliciviruses) or that remain a threat (influenza and hepatitis viruses) are discussed. There are also chapters on new and potential niches for virus infections in the immunocompromised, and the problem of the emergence of antiviral drug resistance in viruses for which therapies exist. 410 0$aSymposium of the Society for General Microbiology ;$v60. 606 $aVirus diseases$vCongresses 606 $aMedical virology$vCongresses 606 $aInfection$vCongresses 615 0$aVirus diseases 615 0$aMedical virology 615 0$aInfection 676 $a614.575 702 $aSmith$b Geoffrey L.$f1955- 712 02$aSociety for General Microbiology, 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457585703321 996 $aNew challenges to health$92460261 997 $aUNINA
