Apoptosis can be initiated by multiple independent pathways that ultimately converge at a point where proteolytic enzymes belonging to the caspase family are activated, which dismantle the apoptotic cell. Multicellular organism have employed apoptotic mechanisms during host defence in response to viral infection to limit or prevent viral spread and replication. Consequently, viruses have evolved sophisticated molecular countermeasures to disarm host apoptotic defences, and this series of reviews and primary research articles in this Special Issue explores the intricate molecular interplay between viruses and their hosts when they battle for control of host apoptotic check-points. 606 $aApoptosis 615 0$aApoptosis. 676 $a571.936 702 $aKvansakul$b Marc 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688427803321 996 $aViral Infection and Apoptosis$92929118 997 $aUNINA
