The past decade has seen mounting global concern regarding viral
outbreaks such as SARS, avian influenza and West Nile virus. In
2004 and 2005, reports of bird-to-human, and possible
human-to-human, transmissions of the H5N1 influenza viruses raised
fears that these viruses could cause a pandemic on the scale of the
Spanish flu pandemic of 1918. Previous to this, a novel
coronavirus had been identified as the aetiological agent of the
severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), a new respiratory viral
disease that emerged at the end of 2002 and caused profound
disturbances in over 30 countries worldwide in 2003. It is not
known whether the SARS coronavirus will re-emerge, especially since
its origins and potential reservoir(s) are unresolved. However,
these outbreaks have shown that these viruses can emerge in any
part of the world at any time.
This book critically evaluates the latest scientific evidence on
novel or re-emerging viral diseases and brings together
contributions from world experts on this topic, explaining best
practice in their area, and discussing lessons learned and how best
to collaborate to prevent and control future outbreaks.
Topics covered include:
* the latest advances in virology, particularly in the area of
epidemiology
* diagnostics
* animal models for viral infection
* antiviral and vaccine development
Novel and Re-emerging Respiratory Viral Diseases offers a
comprehensive and interdisciplinary account of all aspects of the
topic, from basic molecular biology to public health issues, and is
therefore essential reading for virologists, infectious disease
specialists, public health managers, researchers and
epidemiologists, as well as those working in vaccine development,
pharmaceutical medicine and drug discovery
