Oncogenic Viruses: Fundamentals of Oncoviruses provides an overview of the history of human oncoviruses, how to discover and define an oncovirus, how viruses cause cancer in general, their oncogenic mechanisms and epidemiology, and the cancer biology of oncoviruses. The book is organized into five main parts that include history and discovery of virus-tumor complications, taxonomy and classification of oncoviruses, oncoviruses around the world, including epidemiology statistics and current methods. Finally, the book looks at the molecular epidemiology of DNA and RNA viruses and their role in the pathogenesis of human cancers.

Zielgruppe

<p>Experts in the role of oncoviruses in tumorgenesis mechanisms; specialized researchers in viruses and human tumors; researchers in the molecular biology of cancer; researchers of fundamental virology studies; lecturers of virology, cancer in medicine, and microbiology</p>
