In recent years there has been an explosion in research on the papillo- maviruses. The viral nature of human warts was first suggested 80 years ago by Ciuffo, who demonstrated transmission using cell-free filtrates. Shope described the first papillomavirus over 50 years ago as the etiologic agent in infectious papillomatosis in rabbits. Subsequent studies by Rous established that benign rabbit papillomas induced by this virus could progress to carcinomas when treated with specific nonviral cofactors. Despite these rich beginnings, the papillomavirus field lay virtually dor- mant until the late 1970s because no one was able to propagate these viruses in culture successfully. In the late 1970s the molecular cloning of the papillomavirus genomes permitted investigators to partially cir- cumvent this obstacle to their progress. The cloning of the viral genomes permitted the standardization of viral reagents and provided sufficient material to begin a systematic evaluation of the biology of this group of viruses.

Virus de ADN es el segundo volumen de la 7.a edicion de Fields. Virologia, la referencia de mayor autoridad en el tan cambiante mundo contemporaneo de la virologia. Esta edicion cubre la informacion mas reciente sobre los virus de ADN, la fisiopatologia de los padecimientos que causan, como persisten en el cuerpo en forma latente, se reactivan y se propagan, y los nuevos enfoques terapeuticos y de vacunas. Ademas, brinda una cobertura amplia que incluye la biologia de los virus, su replicacion y los aspectos clinicos de familias especificas de virus. Su contenido abarca todos los virus de ADN de importancia medica, incluidos los que infectan a los seres humanos y a los animales. Ademas, se plantean varias cuestiones tematicas al examinar los virus de ADN. La organizacion de los capitulos de esta edicion es similar a las anteriores, es decir, la mayoria de los virus se presenta en un unico capitulo que combina los aspectos basicos y clinicos de este. Para otros, la virologia basica relacionada con la replicacion y la patogenesis viricas se divide en dos capitulos. Esta 7. edicion de Fields. Virologia. Virus de ADN presentada a todo color, con multiples ilustraciones clinicas, figuras y tablas, esta dirigida a estudiantes y profesionales de la virologia, enfermedades infecciosas, microbiologia, medicina interna, familiar, epidemiologia, investigadores, inmunologos y otros profesionales en contacto con pacientes con enfermedades de origen viral.
