Viral Pathogenesis : From Basics to Systems Biology Michael

Edited by Michael G. Katze.

The third edition of Viral Pathogenesis: From Basics to Systems Biology has been completely revised to integrate current developments while retaining the foundational knowledge for which the text is known. This edition deeply covers how system-wide characterization of molecular processes—including enhanced understanding of virus-host interactions, host signaling, molecular interaction networks, and the role of host genetics—enables new insights into disease outcomes.

Content has been significantly expanded to include brief chapters detailing major discoveries, profiles of key predecessors, and reflections on critical or contentious issues within the field. This broader scope provides readers with a perspective on virology research that incorporates concepts from biomedical ethics and public health.

This new edition will equip students with fascinating, modern insights into viral pathogenesis driven by recent advancements in genomics, computation, modeling, and systems biology. It includes coverage of viral entry, replication, release, innate and adaptive immunity, and pathology.

Key Features:

The book presents a novel viewpoint on methods used to understand how viruses cause disease, prominently featuring whole-genome sequencing, molecular profiling, and cutting-edge computational techniques, emphasizing the application of modern methods to the subject.
