Abstract

Infections with RNA viruses represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in vertebrates. This volume is written with the belief that a careful examination of the early host responses to these RNA virus infections, as well as of the mechanisms adopted by these viruses to evade early host antiviral responses, will provide a platform of knowledge on which we will be able to develop new and more effective methods for controlling the spread of RNA viruses or modifying their disease course.
