Synopses & Reviews
The remarkable ability of herpesviruses to escape immunity brings together the two disciplines of immunology and virology in an inextricable way. Because herpesvirus can induce, suppress, and fool the immune system, the most productive herpesvirologists are also expert immunologists, and the results of this latest interdisciplinary effort document the interactions between both disciplines. Herpesviruses and Immunity brings together the contributions of world-class herpesvirus virologists and immunologists who summarize their work to recount some of the most exciting current developments in the field of herpes virology.
