The first volume to cover the entire nidovirus order, including arteriviruses, toroviruses, roniviruses, and several recently identified human coronaviruses.
- Provides crucial information for researchers in virology, epidemiology, biochemistry, cell biology, pathogenesis, and antiviral drug development.
- Synthesizes the most recent research on the basic microbiology of nidoviruses, their genetic replication, and immune system responses.
- Addresses the impact of the recently developed systems for nidovirus reverse genetics, the unique mechanism of nidovirus RNA synthesis, virus-host cell interactions, emerging nidovirus infections, and potential targets for therapeutic interventions.
- Serves as essential reading for specialists and for those interested in viral replication and pathogenesis.
