New epidemics such as AIDS and "mad cow" disease have dramatized the need to explore the factors underlying rapid viral evolution and emerging viruses. This comprehensive volume is the first to describe this multifaceted new field. It places viral evolution and emergence in a historicalcontext, ...

The implications of large-scale production of viruses and VLPs are discussed in the context of process control, monitoring, and optimization. The main upstream and downstream technical challenges are identified and discussed accordingly.Keywords Baculovirus/insect cell system Cell lines Drug delivery Gene...
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth and play a significant role in the evolution of many organisms and ecosystems. In pathogenic protozoa, the presence of viruses has been linked to an increased risk of treatment failure and severe clinical outcome. Here, we studied the mol...
2002–2016, the incidence ranged from 0.01 to 3.46 per 100,000 people, with a total of seven deaths reported. In the year 2014, there were more than 44,000 reported cases of dengue fever, which stands out as the highest ever number of dengue infections per year in the historical records...
while southern China had the highest environmental suitability for Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) transmission all year round, mainly driven by livestock density, mean precipitation in the previous month. We further identified three cities including Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai, with the highest imp...
We examined viral sequences identified in the metagenomes as well as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) sequences, which provide context for historical viral infections within each of the communities, and provide a means to match viruses with putative hosts. We show ...
in the context of other associated pathologies. The idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (P.T.I.) is an immune-mediated acquired disorder. It is characterized by isolated thrombocytopenia, defined as platelet count assessment from peripheral blood smear of less than 100.000/mm3, in the absence of a...
