Simian Virology is the first text to comprehensively cover all currently known simian viruses. Chapters provide an overview of nonhuman primate models of medically important viral diseases as well as natural infections of nonhuman primates with human and animal viruses. The text covers a variety of topics including primate models of medically important viral diseases such as AIDS, hypotheses on the origins of epidemic forms of HIV, and viral diseases caused by non-simian viruses in both wild and captive primates.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Simian Virology is a well-organized and comprehensive book that should be useful for undergraduate and graduate students, veterinarians, biologists, and other professionals who work with nonhuman primates (NHPs), viruses or NHPs, or NHPs involved in research on human disease." (JAVMA, September 2010) "Simian Virology is a comprehensive text covering the biology of viruses whose natural hosts are simian species...The authors of the text are each noted researchers in the field of simian retrovirology." (JAALAS, January 2010)
