This book offers a comprehensive overview of recent trends in viral outbreaks, covering general concepts of immunobiology of infections, viral outbreaks, pathology, virology, viral genomics, viromes, and antiviral pharmacology. It also discusses current clinical recommendations for managing various viral diseases, highlighting ongoing issues, recent advances, and future directions in diagnostic approaches and therapeutic strategies. The book focuses on various aspects and properties of viral outbreaks, whose in-depth understanding is crucial to protect humanity from further losses of resources and economies due to viral diseases. It provides an overview of recent developments in the detection, monitoring, treatment, and control of several viral diseases that have caused recent epidemics or pandemics.

Fenner and White's Medical Virology, Fifth Edition provides an integrated view of related sciences, from cell biology, to medical epidemiology and human social behavior. The perspective represented by this book, that of medical virology as an infectious disease science, is meant to provide a starting point, an anchor, for those who must relate the subject to clinical practice, public health practice, scholarly research, and other endeavors. The book presents detailed exposition on the properties of viruses, how viruses replicate, and how viruses cause disease. These chapters are then followed by an overview of the principles of diagnosis, epidemiology, and how virus infections can be controlled. The first section concludes with a discussion on emergence and attempts to predict the next major public health challenges. These form a guide for delving into the specific diseases of interest to the reader as described in Part II. This lucid and concise, yet comprehensive, text is admirably suited to the needs of not only advanced students of science and medicine, but also postgraduate students, teachers, and research workers in all areas of virology. Key Features: Features updated and expanded coverage of pathogenesis and immunity; Contains the latest laboratory diagnostic methods; Provides insights into clinical features of human viral disease, vaccines, chemotherapy, epidemiology, and control. -- Publishr.

This basic but comprehensive text is aimed at all healthcare professionals who need a clear understanding of medical virology. Written by two highly experienced virologists, the book is divided into five sections: 1) Individual viruses; 2) Other related agents; 3) Clinical syndromes; 4) Diagnostic techniques; 5) Patient management. The individual virus chapters provide information on incubation period, infectivity, control of infection and management. The clinical syndrome chapters provide information on the clinical presentation of disease, thus enabling the reader to search according to patient symptoms rather than referring to several individual virus chapters. The standard chapter formats, simple language and liberal use of tables, figures and algorithms enable quick access to key information, and the comprehensive coverage of all viral agents is unique in a practical guide of this size.

Since the first edition was published in 2009, there have been significant advances in diagnostics and management of viral infections, as well as newly discovered viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 and Zika virus. This new edition provides up-to-date information on the key developments in clinical and diagnostic virology, especially molecular diagnosis, with guidance on new molecular and bedside tests. Effective antiviral treatments and novel combinations of treatments recently introduced are covered in depth. Infection control precautions and pandemic preparedness are discussed, with a focus on recent outbreaks. As with the first edition, coverage is succinct and practical with easily accessible information in algorithms and tables, and standardised chapter layouts organised from A to Z. This is an ideal introduction to complex topics for healthcare trainees, as well as a handy and easily accessible reference for more experienced hospital clinicians and primary care physicians.
