Synopsis

A classic neurovirology text by one of the world's foremost leaders in the field is now in its thoroughly revised, updated Second Edition. Dr. Johnson has rewritten every chapter of his groundbreaking book, synthesizing recent findings in molecular biology, neurobiology, virology, pathology, and immunology. This edition features detailed analyses of neuropathogens and syndromes that have emerged in recent years, including human retroviruses, prions, new herpesviruses, a human parvovirus, and diseases caused by zoonotic agents. Two new chapters cover retroviruses and human disease, and extensive material on human immunodeficiency virus has been added to the chapter on infections of the developing nervous system. Dr. Johnson has also added a new chapter on postinfectious syndromes, including virus-induced encephalopathy, Reye syndrome, postpolio syndrome, and chronic fatigue syndrome. This edition provides greater coverage of viruses indigenous to Asia, Africa, and Latin America and examines the threat of these viruses' global spread
