This book describes the seven different classification of viruses,
including their effects on common human diseases (i.e., common
cold, chicken pox) as well as the more serious diseases (AIDS,
avian influenza and SARS). The nature of the human T-cell leukemia
virus type 1 (HTLV-1), the first human retrovirus and the etiologic
agent of neoplastic disease, adult T-cell leukaemia (ATL) is
explored, as well as its effect on several inflammatory diseases.
Since 1997, great concern aroused that the Asian highly pathogenic
avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus might turn into a pandemic
strain. Thus, the enigmatic nature of the HPAI H5N1 influenza virus
is also discussed. An attempt is made to identify and to
characterise, qualitatively, various concrete factors that may
readily become or propel critical masses. Furthermore, giant
viruses, which are ancient double-stranded DNA viruses that infect
a wide range of host organisms are addressed. This book also
highlights current information regarding the replication,
transcription, and roles of proteins of coronaviruses, viruses
which are known to infect a wide range of mammalian and bird
species.
