Paramyxoviruses are a diverse family of non-segmented negative
strand RNA viruses that include many important human, animal, and
zoonotic pathogens. Despite their enormous importance, the nature
of the viral genome had proved an obstacle to research, with the
result that paramyxoviral research had lagged behind that of other
viruses. The advent of reverse genetics in recent years has changed
this, enabling great strides in the understanding of the genomics,
molecular biology, and viral pathogenesis. This book provides a
timely and comprehensive review of current knowledge of all
paramyxoviruses and is written by renowned scientists who have made
seminal contributions in their respective paramyxovirus fields of
expertise. Topics include: mumps virus * simian virus 5 *
parainfluenza viruses * Newcastle disease and related avian
paramyxoviruses * Sendai virus * Hendra virus * Nipah virus *
measles virus * canine distemper virus * rinderpest virus * peste
des petits ruminants virus * human respiratory syncytial virus *
metapneumoviruses * new and emerging paramyxoviruses. Each chapter
covers current knowledge on history, genome organization, viral
proteins, reverse genetics, epidemiology, pathogenesis, immunity,
diagnosis, prevention, and control and future challenges. This book
is an invaluable reference source of timely information for
virologists, microbiologists, immunologists, physicians,
veterinarians, and scientists working on paramyxoviruses. It is
also strongly recommended for all medical and veterinary school
libraries.
