Viral Infections and Antiviral Therapies provides comprehensive coverage of viral infections and their transmission. Coverage includes antiviral agents, therapeutics, their mechanisms and treatment strategies. The book is organized into four sections, including an introduction to antiviral therapies, viral infections and their transmission, antiviral agents and therapeutics, and a market overview and future developments. The chapters in each section of the book discuss various key topics that are contributed to by an international group of leading experts.
- Covers emerging and sexually transmitted viruses, including mode of transmission and pathophysiology of viral infections
- Describes antiviral agents and therapeutics for viruses such as rotaviruses, enteroviruses and coronaviruses
- Discusses strategies for the delivery of antiviral agents and vaccinations
