Synopsis

A comprehensive survey of the most recent discoveries in this field.

• Provides a platform of knowledge that will lead to the development of more effective methods for controlling the spread of RNA viruses or modifying their disease course.
• Synthesizes recent findings in this fast-moving field while also reviewing accepted knowledge.
• Focuses on the antiviral signaling pathways in the host, including specific pattern recognition receptors and how these cellular alarms signal the innate immune response.
• Examines the ways in which specific major RNA virus families interact with, activate, and elude these signaling pathways and responses.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Infections with RNA viruses represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in vertebrates. This volume is written with the belief that a careful examination of the early host responses to these RNA virus infections, as well as of the mechanisms adopted by these viruses to evade early host antiviral responses, will provide a platform of knowledge on which we will be able to develop new and more effective methods for controlling the spread of RNA viruses or modifying their disease course.
