New book on HIV
from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press
 15-Dec-2011 - The worldwide
AIDS epidemic makes research on HIV, the disease processes it induces, and potential HIV therapies among the most critical in
biomedical science. Furthermore, the basic biology of HIV infections provides a model for a more general understanding of
retroviruses and their hosts.
Written and edited by experts in the field, "HIV: From Biology to Prevention and Treatment" provides a
comprehensive review of HIV research, covering everything from the pathogenesis of HIV infection to prevention. Contributors
explore the origins and evolution of HIV, the HIV replication cycle, host-virus interactions, host immune responses, and
HIV transmission. Vaccines, cell and gene therapies, antiretroviral drugs, microbicides, and behavioral strategies for
the treatment and prevention of HIV infections are also explored.
This volume, which includes discussions of social and economic factors that affect HIV transmission and
treatment, is an essential reference for virologists, cell and molecular biologists, and immunologists, as well as
epidemiologists, physicians, and other public health professionals.
