History of Arbovirology: Memories from the Field: Volume I: Personal Reflections (PDF Book)

Book Review – Seminal Moments in Arbovirology

By Nikos Vasilakis, Laura D. Kramer

These books bring together a panel of expert arbovirologists who recall the history of arbovirology from very personal perspectives. In these timely volumes, the authors describe seminal moments in their experiences in the field and how they integrated these findings with lab studies to further clarify the ecology and epidemiology of diverse arboviruses. Authors identify the most pressing questions that remain to be answered, providing a basis for current research and a stimulus to engage those entering the field.

Over the last 20 years a generational gap has developed between the giants of arbovirus research and discovery and the new generation. This lack of continuity may have immediate and disastrous consequences for public health when yet-undiscovered arboviruses emerge. The purpose of these books is to bridge this gap and provide a historical context for the work being done today, offering a comprehensive historical analysis of arbovirology by crucial contributors to this field.

The first volume of this book consists of the personal reflections of arbovirologists who played a significant role in the advancement of the field across the globe. This volume presents firsthand narratives of seminal studies and experiments, illuminating how these have contributed to current knowledge. Volume II transitions to descriptions of region-specific and virus family-specific perspectives of arbovirology, as well as recollections of the early events of molecular advances and pathogenesis studies.

Essential reading for every arbovirologist, and highly recommended for all virologists and public health officials, these books are also ideal for students considering future research options.
