Description

Captures the state of the science with twenty reviews that examine the latest in today's antiviral drug discovery efforts. Presents the fundamental principles of antiviral agents and forecasts future possibilities. Investigates novel enzyme and protein inhibitors. Analyzes clinical aspects of viral infection with regard to treatment and toxicity. Examines known and potential targets at all stages of viral development. Serves as a resource for virologists, biochemists, pharmaceutical chemists, and other investigators. Covers a broad range of viruses, including HIV-1, HSV, and HCV. This title is published by the American Society of Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
