Neglected Viruses
Editat de Alaa Aljabalien Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mar 2026
While the world focuses on the pandemics of the day, a group of virulent viruses remains dangerously underexplored. Chikungunya. Lassa. Nipah. Hanta. Dengue. These pathogens, capable of causing severe neurological damage, hemorrhagic fevers, and devastating outbreaks, represent a critical gap in our scientific and public health defenses.
This essential volume, drawing on the expertise of top researchers, emerges as a vital response to this neglect. It consolidates the latest research into a single, coherent resource, offering a comprehensive analysis of these viruses from their molecular structures and epidemiological patterns to their clinical management and the societal factors that allow them to persist.
"A very important step in the right direction... a powerful tool against ignorance and aMore than just a compendium of knowledge, this book is a compelling call to action. It is an indispensable guide for virologists, epidemiologists, and public health professionals, and an accessible entry point for students and non-specialists, urging the scientific community to prioritize these latent threats before the next crisis strikes.
strong basis for life in tomorrow."Prof. Paul Pumpens, from the Foreword
