Leveraging Viruses for the Treatment of Viral Diseases and Cancer: Improving Host Fitness by Combinations of Virus and Host Genes gives a comprehensive overview on the impact of using naturally or intentionally attenuated viruses - which are apathogenic to people - to control viral diseases and cancer. It examines the potential of exploiting, developing, and using apathogenic viruses as therapeutic tools. Sections cover the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for a post-Infection Plan B to combat SARS-CoV-2 infections as gaps in testing and vaccination create the perfect conditions for a new variant of concern to emerge.More generally, the book also provides specific examples of the use of apathogenic viruses to treat other infectious diseases. It discusses the process of manufacturing viral therapies and how infectious disease treatments can be repurposed to improve other therapies like for cancer. With contribution from an international group of contributors, Leveraging Viruses for the Treatment of Viral Diseases and Cancer is useful references for those engages in study and development of infectious diseases and ways to combat them.

Human Papillomavirus: Proving and Using a Viral Cause for Cancer presents a steady and massive accumulation of evidence about the role of HPV and prevention of HPV-induced cancer, along with the role and personal commitment of many scientists of different backgrounds in establishing global relevance. This exercise involved years of personal commitment to proving or disproving an idea that aroused initial skepticism, and that still has difficult implications for some. It remains one of the big successes of medicine that exploited both established medical science dating back to the nineteenth century and new molecular genetic science during a time of transition in medicine.

The Microbiology of Respiratory System Infections reviews modern approaches in the diagnosis, treatment, and prophylaxis of respiratory system infections. The book is very useful for researchers, scientists, academics, medical practitioners, graduate and postgraduate students, and specialists from pharmaceutical and laboratory diagnostic companies. The book has been divided into three sections according to the types of respiratory pathogens. The first section contains reviews on the most common and epidemiologically important respiratory viruses, such as influenza virus, severe acute respiratory system coronavirus, and recently discovered Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus. The second section is devoted to bacterial and fungal pathogens, which discusses etiology and pathogenesis including infections in patients with compromised immune system, and infections caused by fungal pathogens, such as Aspergillus and Pneumocystis. The third section incorporates treatment approaches against different types of bacterial infections of the lower respiratory tract. This section reviews classical antimicrobial and phytomedical approaches as well as the application of nanotechnology against respiratory pathogens.
