Negative strand RNA viruses have a unique mechanism of replication. Their genome is a single strand RNA that has to be transcribed as soon as the virus enters the host in order to carry out viral replication. As a result, a viral-specific RNA polymerase is packaged in the virion and is ready for transcription after virus entry. This novel replication mechanism dictates the assembly and RNA synthesis of negative strand RNA viruses. In recent years, many discoveries have been made with regard to the entry, replication and assembly of this class of viruses. This book will present updated coverage of the fundamental knowledge about negative strand RNA viruses.

The Chinese government incorporated tourism and urbanisation as a key component for economic and social development in the Five-Year National Plan. This book starts with a general introduction to the concept of urbanisation and tourism development in the global environment. This is followed by a discussion of urbanisation in China and the Guangdong province. Chapter Two is a historical review, focusing on tourism and hotel development in China, particularly in the province of Gurangdong. China's hotel rating system and influence factors on hotel development are also discussed. In Chapter Three, the definition and measurement of urbanisation are discussed through different disciplines and theories, and the related urbanisation studies in China are also discussed. In Chapter Four, the relationship of urbanisation and tourism development are elaborated, and the effect of urbanisation on tourism and hotel development are identified in Chapter Five through a case study. Urbanisation has been a remarkable social phenomenon in the world since the Nineteenth and Twentieth centuries. It transformed the spatial and social configurations of human societies. However, this issue has rarely been investigated in literature concerning tourism and hospitality. This book attempts to build the link between urbanisation, tourism and hotel development at the provincial, regional and city levels, including the economy of mid-scale hotels and upscale hotels. This book provides insight to practitioners using macroeconomic factors in relation to tourism and hotel development.
