The Horizon Scientific Press titles focus on high-level microbiology and molecular biology topics. Written by internationally renowned and highly respected leaders in the field, titles in this series comprise of review manuals, practical manuals, and reference texts for research scientists, bioscience professionals and graduate students.

Ebola and Marburg viruses cause severe hemorrhagic fevers. Much research has been performed in recent years on the molecular and genetic properties of these viruses. In particular it has focused on molecular structure, replication and virus-host interactions.

Ebola and Marburg Viruses presents a comprehensive review of the current research on these highly virulent viruses. Topics covered include the genomics of the Filoviridae, molecular properties, taxonomy, replication, evolution, epidemiology, pathogenicity, virus-host interactions and the immune response.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This is a fascinating update on the molecular biology, pathogenesis and immunology of viruses of the Filoviridae family. The Editors have done a marvellous job collating up-to-date reviews by leading research groups in the field. - Microbiology Today (May 2004)

This book presents a comprehensive review of curent research on Ebola and Marburg viruses...Researchers and students alike will find this book very useful.
- CAB Abstracts

Virologists will be most interested in this book, but it would also be useful to biologists and students interested in electron microscopy techniques and infectious diseases. Programs in infectious disease, international health and veterinary and zoonotic diseases will want to have this book in their collections. It is recommended for all biology and biomedical science library collections. - E-Streams (Vol. 7, No. 8 - August 2004)

This is an excellent reference for anyone doing research with these viruses as well as for educators in virology. - Doodys Book Review

It is highly recommended to medical staff such as virologists and infectious disease physicians as well as to scientific staff interested in molecular biology and immunology of these interesting and significant viral pathogens. - American Journal of Medical Science, August 2005, Vol 27, No. 3
