Springer Latency Strategies of Herpesviruses - Springer Book

Explore the complex biological processes of viral persistence with Latency Strategies of Herpesviruses by Springer. This scientific volume examines the evolutionary history of Alpha-, Beta-, and Gammaherpesvirinae and their relationship with host species over a 200,000-year period. While the text focuses primarily on herpesviruses that infect humans, it also provides valuable insights into how these viruses affect various animals. Readers will find detailed information regarding the molecular mechanisms that regulate latent promoters within herpesvirus genomes. The book also covers the specific signals and molecular pathways that lead to the reactivation of latent viral genomes. This resource is designed for professionals and students in immunology and internal medicine who require a deep understanding of how these viruses maintain latency and transition back to active states.
