Description

This comprehensive and up-to-date reference reviews the fundamental ideas and terminology used to evaluate viral and immune-mediated diseases and details the taxonomy, pathogenesis, epidemiology, immunology, clinical and differential diagnosis, and treatment of viral and virus-induced immune-mediated diseases of the nervous system. Uniting the clinical aspects and the basic biology of virus infections of the nervous system, the Handbook of Neurovirology examines all aspects of the immune response to virus infection, including cellular and humoral immunity as well as interferon and cytokine responses investigates the new concept of molecular mimicry analyzes cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities associated with viral and immune-mediated syndromes describes both RNA and DNA viruses and their diseases covers virus classification, virion structure and structural proteins, viral genome structure, and viral gene regulation and replication discusses selected animal models of viral infections that have been especially useful in delineating the pathogenesis of viral infections in man and more!
