RNA Interference and Viruses
"a timely and well-compiled book, authored by several distinguished scientists who have made significant contributions to this important area of emerging research. The book consists of 11 chapters dealing with various aspects of the relevance of RNAi to viral infections in plant, insect and mammalian cells ... the book addresses a range of important fundamental issues that may impact on the development of RNAi-based therapies against several human diseases. It provides a solid introduction to the general concepts in the field of RNAi, how viruses modulate RNAi responses as well as issues involved in using RNAi as antiviral therapy. Thus, this book will be useful to a wide range of readership- from basic science students, to RNAi researchers, to virologists, to investors in drug development companies."
