Produktbeschreibung
Diabetes, in all of its forms, now constitutes a growing health concern, affecting all segments of the world s population. There is great interest in the factors which influence its etiology and progression. Among these, a number of viruses feature prominently. Hindered by technological limitations, research into this relationship has hitherto been scarce. Recent advances, however, have opened up the field and there is a burgeoning body of literature on the subject. Unfortunately, this literature has been diffuse and often difficult to access.
For the first time, this book compiles the views of many of the world s experts in the field. It addresses questions, ranging from how viruses may destroy or modify the function of pancreatic islets; to which viruses are the most likely culprits; to whether vaccines or etiologic therapies might be used to prevent virus-induced diabetes. Diabetes and Viruses is the first comprehensive volume on an important and expanding field of research that is of interest to clinicians, healthcare managers, epidemiologists, veterinarians, and basic scientists.
Rezensionen
From the reviews:

"This book discusses the history, science, and potential mechanisms that associate viruses and diabetes. ... It is most appropriate for those involved in basic and translational research. ... Its best feature is the short abstract that begins each chapter, which gives readers a summary of what is discussed in the chapter. In addition, the book is well referenced, allowing for further reading if desired. ... This is a well-written, comprehensive book that provides up-to-date information about the research field of diabetes and virology." (Rebecca L. Brown, Doody's Review Service, December, 2012)
