World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Viruses: More Friends Than Foes
Book SynopsisInfluenza, AIDS, and Ebola: Viruses are normally defined as pathogens. Most viruses are, however, not enemies or killers. Well-known virologist and cancer researcher Karin Moelling describes surprising insights about a completely new and unexpected world of viruses. Viruses are ubiquitous, in the oceans, our environment, in animals, plants, bacteria, in our body, even in our genomes. They influence our weather, can contribute to control obesity, and can surprisingly be applied against threatening multi-resistant bacteria. The success story of the viruses started more than 3.5 billion years ago in the dawn of life when even cells did not exist. They are the superpower of life. There are more viruses on earth than stars in the sky. Viruses are everywhere. Some of them are incredibly ancient. Many viruses are hundredfold smaller than bacteria, but others are tenfold bigger and they were discovered only recently — the giant viruses, even deep within the permafrost where they were reactivated after 30,000 years.The author talks about a completely new world of viruses, which are based on the most recent, in part her own research results. Could viruses have been our oldest ancestors? Have viruses even 'invented' social behavior, do they lead to geniuses such as Mozart or Einstein — or alternatively to cancer? They can help to cure cancer. In this book, the author made a clear distinction between what is fact and what is her vision. This book is written for a general audience and not just for the experts. Its aim is to stimulate thinking, and perhaps to attract more young scientists to enter this field of research.Table of ContentsViruses - Not as You Pictured Them; Viruses - How They Make Us Ill; Retroviruses and Immortality; Viruses and Cancer; Viruses That Do Not Make Us Ill; Viruses - "Giant" as Cells; Viruses as Fossils; Viruses - Our Oldest Ancestors?; Viruses and Antiviral Defense; Viruses or Phages for Survival?; Viruses for Gene Therapy; Viruses and The Future;

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Pioneers In Microbiology: The Human Side Of
Book SynopsisPasteurization, penicillin, Koch's postulates, and gene coding. These discoveries and inventions are vital yet commonplace in modern life, but were radical when first introduced to the public and academia. In this book, the life and times of leading pioneers in microbiology are discussed in vivid detail, focusing on the background of each discovery and the process in which they were developed — sometimes by accident or sheer providence.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Brief History Of Bacteria, A: The Everlasting
Book SynopsisThis book explains how pathogenic bacteria cause diseases, how the human immune system launches timely and effective defense mechanisms against bacterial infection, why the discovery and application of penicillin and streptomycin are so important, how scientists have created medicines to defeat bacteria, and why these bacteria might outsmart modern medicine.On the other hand, bacteria can be beneficial to humans: some bacteria live in harmony with the human body, and they are indispensable to our health. They also help in refining biological energy in the post-fossil fuel era, and in producing fermented food.With accessible language, illustrations and comics, this book tells the story of our tumultuous relationship with bacteria and how it has shaped history.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Chronic Hepatitis B And C: Basic Science To
Book SynopsisThe scope of the book is very broad, covering a wide range of areas in HBV/HDV and HCV research, including both basic and clinical science. The selected topics range from epidemiology, immunology, molecular virology and oncology, to clinical therapy.Chronic Hepatitis B and C consists of 14 chapters, each being a review of a special topic on HBV or HCV. While review articles on a special topic can be found in periodical journals, they tend to be more restricted in presentation. Therefore, this book will provide more in-depth coverage of what are presented as “unpublished results” and “data not shown” in journal articles. Furthermore, several authors in this book do not write review articles regularly. Some authors wrote reviews on a specific topic regularly, but they tried a new topic in this book (e.g., Dr. YF Liaw on “natural course,” Dr. Shih on “virion release,” Dr. Michael Lai on “lymphotropism of HCV,” etc. ⋯). Overall, the book will offer useful information at the cutting age.Sample Chapter(s)Table of ContentsHepatitis B Virus: Natural Course of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection (Y F Liaw & C M Chu); Immune Response and Viral Hepatitis B (D Milich); Epidemiology of Viral Hepatitis B-related Hepatocellular Carcinoma (K A McGlynn et al.); Molecular Biology of HBV-related Hepatocellular Carcinoma (A J Hodgson & B Slagle); Treatment of Chronic Viral Hepatitis B and Drug Resistant Variants (T Nguyen et al.); The Release of HBV Particles (C Shih); Recent Development in Hepatitis Delta Virus (C Sureau); Hepatitis C Virus: Development of an HCV Cell Culture System (T Kato & T Wakita); Innate Immune Defense and Flaviviridae (M Gale Jr & M Diamond); Lymphotropism of Hepatitis C Virus (M Lai & K Machida); Expression and Functions of Hepatitis C Virus F Protein (J Ou); Treatment of Hepatitis C Infection (D-S Chen & C-J Liu); The Complexities of Hepatitis C Virus Entry (J McKeating et al.).

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Negative Strand Rna Virus
Book SynopsisNegative strand RNA viruses have a unique mechanism of replication. Their genome is a single strand RNA that has to be transcribed as soon as the virus enters the host in order to carry out viral replication. As a result, a viral-specific RNA polymerase is packaged in the virion and is ready for transcription after virus entry. This novel replication mechanism dictates the assembly and RNA synthesis of negative strand RNA viruses. In recent years, many discoveries have been made with regard to the entry, replication and assembly of this class of viruses. This book will present updated coverage of the fundamental knowledge about negative strand RNA viruses.Table of ContentsOverview: The History and the Genome Organization of Negative Strand RNA Viruses; Virus Entry: Entry of Rhabdovirus; Entry of Paramyxovirus; Replication/Transcription: Replication of Rhabdovirus; Replication of Paramyxovirus; Transcription of Rhabdovirus; Transcription of Paramyxovirus; Assembly: Assembly of Rhabdovirus; Assembly of Paramyxovirus; Host Interaction: Interactions with the Host; Emerging Viruses: Emerging Viruses.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Current Status of Fresh Water Microbiology
Book SynopsisThis contributed volume deals with the various aspects of freshwater microbiology including diverse habitats, associated microorganisms, their ecological interactions, and industrial applications. Freshwater ecosystems are dynamic natural resources, providing sources of potable water, food, animal habitats, and recreation. Perspectives of microbial dynamics in freshwater bodies, covered in this title, provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis of microbial ecology in these ecosystems. These microbes are at the hub of biogeochemical cycles (carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other elements). Moreover, they are an integral part of the aquatic food web and control the quality of freshwater bodies. Chapters in this title also discuss the issue of pollution in freshwater bodies and put forward available strategies for eco-friendly solutions. The book is a perfect documentation of primary and secondary data-based information on the latest research findings, case studies, experiences, and innovations in the field of freshwater microbiology. The book is of great use to students, researchers, and professionals studying aquatic sciences.Table of ContentsAttached
