Persistent Viral Infections Edited by Rafi Ahmed Emory Vaccine Center, Atlanta, USA and Irvin S. Y. Chen UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles, USA During the past decade much of our attention has focused on diseases associated with viral persistence. Major breakthroughs in immunology, and the advent of molecular approaches to study pathogenesis have increased our understanding of the complex virus–host interactions that occur during viral persistence. Persistent Viral Infections focuses on:
∗ The pathogenesis and immunology of chronic infections
∗ Animal models that provide, or have the potential to provide, major insights
This volume will be essential reading for virologists, immunologists, oncologists and neurologists.
