Opis

Leading research in the active field of virology is given coverage in this volume. Based on contributions from a meeting in Giessen, FRG, organized by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, the reviews represent international experience from Japan, Europe and North America. The most interesting topics in current virus research are included, such as: leukemogenesis by retroviruses, coding strategy of arena- and coronaviruses, slow virus infections, virus-induced membrane fusion, antiviral agents, pathogenetic mechanisms of influenza- and retroviruses, and recombinant vaccinia virus.
