Non-Flavivirus Encephalitis - Hardcover

by Roy McClen (Editor)

Non-flavivirus encephalitis is a group of disorders involving chronic inflammation of the brain other than the ones caused by the flavivirus genes. This is a comprehensive book which encompasses the various aspects of non-flavivirus encephalitises of distinct etiology and discusses the basic problems of epidemiology like the analysis of zoonotic and animal vectors of encephalitis causative agents and methodologies as well as approaches for encephalitis zoonoses investigations. The members of various virus species are considered as the causative agents of this disorder, and these viral pathogens, their pathology, epidemiology, diagnostics and molecular mechanisms of encephalitis development by such viruses as SIV/HIV, measles virus, alphaviruses, herpes simplex virus type 1 and equine herpesvirus 9, coronaviruses and rhabdovirus have been discussed in this insightful book. The book also presents the analysis of protozoan pathogens like amoebae and toxoplasma and multicellular pathogens like human Filaria Loa Loa - a filarial worm restricted to the West Africa.
