Now in four convenient volumes, Field’s Virology remains the most authoritative reference in this fast-changing field, providing definitive coverage of virology, including virus biology as well as replication and medical aspects of specific virus families. This volume of Field’s Virology: Emerging Viruses, 7th Edition covers recent changes in emerging viruses, providing new or extensively revised chapters that reflect these advances in this dynamic field.

Fields Virology Emerging Viruses 7th Table of contents:

1. Virus Evolution:

• Origins of Viruses: Discussions on whether viruses are ancient forms of life or evolved from cellular organisms.

• Mutation, Selection, and Diversity: How mutations drive virus evolution and how natural selection shapes viral genomes.

• Codivergence: Examining how viruses and their hosts evolve together over time.

2. Virus Families and Their Replication:

• Picornaviridae: Includes polioviruses, coxsackieviruses, and echoviruses. Detailed discussions on replication, genome structure, and pathogenesis.

• Togaviridae: Focuses on alphaviruses, such as Chikungunya, and rubiviruses, including their replication strategies.

• Flaviviridae: Encompasses viruses like Dengue, Zika, West Nile, and Hepatitis C virus, discussing genome structure, pathogenesis, and epidemiology.

• Coronaviridae: Discusses SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and other human coronaviruses, covering pathogenesis and immune evasion.

• Filoviridae: Including Ebola and Marburg viruses, their structure, replication, and pathology.

• Orthomyxoviridae (Influenza): Evolution of influenza viruses, the impact of pandemics, and vaccine strategies.

• Arenaviridae: Includes viruses causing hemorrhagic fevers, such as Lassa fever and lymphocytic choriomeningitis.

3. Viral Evolution and Transmission:

• Focus on how viruses adapt to new hosts, including cross-species transmission.

• Genetic Drift and Recombination: How genetic changes allow viruses to evade immunity or adapt to new environments.

• Quasispecies: Understanding viral populations as diverse, evolving communities rather than a single genetic entity.

4. Viral Pathogenesis and Epidemiology:

• Transmission: How viruses spread between hosts, including vector-borne transmission (e.g., by mosquitoes for Zika, Dengue, etc.).

• Immune Evasion: Mechanisms viruses use to evade the host immune system, including interfering with immune responses.

• Clinical Features and Diagnosis: Details on symptoms, diagnostic techniques, and disease manifestations.

5. Prevention and Control:

• Vaccines: Development and strategies for vaccines, especially for viruses like influenza and polio.

• Treatment: Current and experimental antiviral therapies, including immune-based treatments.

6. Perspectives:

• Future Challenges: Understanding how viruses may evolve in the future, particularly in terms of emerging viral diseases and resistance to treatments.
