Renewed interest in FMD research worldwide has led to a huge increase in the amount of scientific data generated. This volume will help keep the busy scientist up-to-date with all the latest developments. Interdisciplinary in approach, the book provides for the first time a coherent picture of the emerging strategies for diagnosis and control. With contributions from leading international FMD researchers, the volume provides comprehensive coverage of the entire area. Topics covered include genome organisation, translation and replication of FMD virus RNA, proteinases, virus particles, clinical signs of FMD, viral persistence, host range, immunology, quasispecies dynamics and evolution, vaccines, and much much more.
Essential reading for everyone with an interest in FMD: virologists, molecular biologists, biotechnologists,college lecturers, veterinary practioners, and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
Financial support for the production of part of the color plates at the back of the book was generously provided by Fundación Wellcome España.
Reviews:
"... an authoritative and compelling overview of FMD with a greater breadth and depth than any so far. I would highly recommend it for anybody with a specific interest in the biology and/or control of FMD or as an institute purchase for virology departments." from SGM Microbiol. Today (2005).
