Neurovirology (Cambridge Manuals in Neurology) (PDF)

During a period of viral misinformation and confusion regarding transmission, “Neurovirology” attempts to provide both accurate and detailed information about the functioning of viruses. Focused on the interpretation of scientific and medical data, this book provides advice on understanding viral information, including the distinction between ‘alive’ and infectious viruses. Using the COVID-19 virus as the primary example, the book discusses the science of virology and immunology, it covers the measurement of infectious disease via techniques such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), molecular biology, and the immune system.

The first portion of the book explains the reader to the fundamental principles of virology and immunology, using the COVID-19 virus to demonstrate various principles. It delves into the comprehension of viral diseases and investigates the measurement of viral load and the infectivity of viruses. The second section focuses on clinical virology and neurovirology, this provides new information about the potential role of viruses in evolution. It also studies anti- viral treatments and delves into the intriguing association between viruses and autoimmune diseases.

Concise and useful, “Neurovirology” is a pertinent resource for professionals involved in neurology, infectious disease, and virology. Its lucid and comprehensive approach conveys to readers a more indepth understanding of the intricate connections between viruses and the human body. This book provides a crucial resource for those who seek a dependable, up-to-date source on neurovirology as it relates to neurological diseases and infections.
