This book is the proceedings of the VIII International Symposium on Nidoviruses (Coronaviruses and Arteriviruses), held May 20-25, 2000, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
This comprehensive new book summarizes current knowledge concerning this group of viruses. It details the genomic structure of the viruses, the mechanism of their entry into cells, their mechanism of replication, RNA synthesis, and particle assembly within cells. The book also describes the epidemiology of these viruses, their pathogenesis, and the role of the immune system in interacting with these viruses.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'The quality of the presentations is excellent. This book should be studied by every 'RNA virologist', but the intricate replication strategies and other features of these viruses are of general interest to all virologists. [..]worth the expense and is highly recommended.'
Microbiology Today, August (2002)

This review is from: The Nidoviruses (Coronaviruses and Arteriviruses) (Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology) (Hardcover)

"The book is a treasure for details on various replication functions as well as virus-cell interactions, pathogenesis and vaccine development. The quality of the presentations is excellent. This book should be studied by every 'RNA Virologist', but the intricate replication starategies and other features of these viruses are of general interest to all virologists...the book...is worth the expense and is highly recommended."
