Book Description
The current proliferation of scientific information makes it difficult for even the most diligent reader to keep up with the latest developments in his/her own field, let alone other areas of interest. Review articles are one solution, but they too have become so voluminous and detailed that they often defeat the purpose for which they were intended. We have attempted to ease this problem by using a different format. In this volume on Concepts in Viral Pathogenesis, we have assembled a series of mini-reviews/editorials, 1,000 to 2,000 words in length. Each is a pithy distil lation of the state-of-the-art with emphasis on current thinking and unifying concepts rather than a compendium of the literature. The 53 articles, all written by active workers in their respective fields, are organized systemati cally so that the book will provide busy investigators, teachers and students of up-to-date information in a very brief and easily read a conceptual core able form. In addition, the authors have attempted to identify unresolved problems and point to future directions.

Book Description
This unique book focuses on the DNA viruses in the human population that are associated with cancers. It covers most of the viruses that are thought to contribute to human malignancy. This book represents a comprehensive review of the field of DNA tumor virology. Right now, while there are books out there that cover individual viruses that are also covered in this book, there is no single book that covers this topic comprehensively. This book is the first current, comprehensive review of its kind in the market.

Book Description
If tumor viruses did not exist in nature they might have been created by scientists interested in basic mechanisms of develop ment, differentiation, and tumorigenesis. In contemporary euka ryotic cell biology tumor viruses playa similar role to that which bacteriophages once had for the molecular biology of prokary otes. Tumor viruses provide extremely useful probes for the above cellular processes since their life cycle is genetically pro grammed and can be followed at DNA, RNA, and protein levels. The experimental systems reviewed in this volume utilize a wide variety of viruses. A comprehensive introduction to this field has recently been published in the volumes of Molecular Biology o/Tumor Viruses: DNA Tumor Viruses, 2nd edition, edited by J. Tooze; and Molecular Biology o/Thmor Viruses: RNA Tumor Viruses, 2nd edition, edited by R. Weiss, N. Teich, H. Varmus, and J. Coffm, by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories in 1980 and 1982. Polyoma and SV40 viruses (see the chapter by A. Levine) and adenoviruses (see the chapter by W. Doerfler) are double stranded DNA-containing viruses. Polyoma and SV40 are struc turally related viruses which contain a genome of approximately 5 kilo basepairs, while the DNA of adenovirus is about 7 times more complex. These DNA tumor viruses are understood at a genetic and molecular level which is comparable to our know ledge of A and T4 bacteriophages. Retroviruses, the subject of the remaining four chapters, con tain a single-stranded RNA genome of 5-8 kilobases.

Book Description
Viruses are the agent responsible for perhaps up to one million cases of cancer worldwide each year. Significantly, the study of viruses has also provided important clues to the causes and development of the most common human cancers. This volume presents an account of those viruses which have been directly associated with common human malignancies such as human papillomavirus (HPV), cervical carcinoma, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Burkitt's lymphoma. In addition, the biology and biochemistry of those viruses which have been shown to be capable of transforming cells in culture are described in detail. Thus adenovirus are discussed, as are the other small DNA tumour viruses - Simian virus 40 (SV40) and polyoma virus. Consideration has also been given to human T-cell leukaemia virus (HTLV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human herpes virus 8 (HHV8), amongst others. General themes such as the host's immune response to viral infection, virally-induced apoptosis and the use of viruses as a delivery system in gene therapy have been discussed. Individual chapters have been written by an international group of experts in their own field of research.
