Gastroenteritis

Viral Gastroenteritis

Rapid progress has been made in basic research of gastroenteritis viruses as well as their diagnosis and epidemiology, due to advent of highly sensitive and specific molecular detection techniques to analyse clinical materials. It is at the intersection of basic and applied clinical virology that this book wishes to make a contribution, directed towards the molecular analysis of viruses causing gastroenteritis as well as aspects of their pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, and vaccine-related research. The main emphasis is on data relating to rotaviruses, caliciviruses, astroviruses, and enteric adenoviruses. In addition, aspects of research on viruses less frequently causing diarrhoea (picornaviruses, toroviruses, picobirnaviruses, a.o.) are also presented.

Gastroenteritis Viruses

This important book covers the structure and molecular biology of small round structured viruses (SSRVs) such as caliciviruses and astroviruses, and the basic pathology of infection. It provides readers with the knowledge needed to make progress in the prevention and treatment of these infections. Readers will also find an overview of gastroentitis vaccines, their structure and molecular biology, as well as the basic pathology of infection, epidemiology and surveillance. Provides an interdisciplinary approach, offering contributions from basic and clinical research Discusses the prevention and treatment of regimes Includes an overview of gastroentitis vaccines
