Textbook of Influenza

By Karl Nicholson and Karl G. Nicholson

The Textbook of Influenza provides a comprehensive reference on the subject of influenza, but with a clinical perspective. The book presents sufficient detail on the genetic and molecular functions of the virus to be relevant to research scientists, and enough epidemiological material to interest public-health professionals. But a significant portion of the text concentrates on the clinical aspects of the disease. Particular attention is paid to the future of flu treatments, including a detailed look at vaccine development. With the editors' expertise spanning both clinical and scientific spheres, the book has a wide target audience. No such publication currently exists, and with its worldwide perspective on the problem of influenza and its international authorship, it is anticipated that this book will have a wide distribution.
