RNA Interference and Viruses review

Excerpt from a book review of RNA Interference and Viruses: Current Innovations and Future Trends:

"Overall, this book provides a timely and useful review of topics relevant to the interface of small RNA biology and virology. Chapters were written to stand alone and are therefore best read individually ... a good addition to institutional libraries." from Eva Gottwein (Chicago, USA) writing in The Quarterly Review of Biology (2012) 87: 66-67. read more ...

Rhabdoviruses

Ralf G. Dietzgen and Ivan V. Kuzmin present a new book on Rhabdoviruses: Molecular Taxonomy, Evolution, Genomics, Ecology, Host-Vector Interactions, Cytopathology and Control
Written by a select group of world-renowned virologists, this book reviews all of the most recent advances in rhabdovirology providing a timely overview of the field. Most contributions are written from a molecular and genomic perspective and contain expert insights upon which to base future research efforts. Topics covered include: morphology, genome organization, transcription, virus replication, taxonomy, characterization, virus evolution, vesiculovirus, lyssavirus, ephemeroviruses, fish novirhabdoviruses, the sigma viruses of Drosophila, virus-host protein interaction of plant-adapted rhabdoviruses, cereal-infecting rhabdoviruses, and rabies prevention and control including lyssavirus vaccine development. The book is a "must read" for all virologists working on these and related negative sense RNA viruses. A recommended book for all biology, veterinary and medical libraries read more ...
