This book explores a new challenge in virology: to understand how physical properties of virus particles (virions) and viruses (infected cells) affect the course of an infection. Insights from the emerging field of physical virology will contribute to understanding of the physical nature of viruses and cells, and will open new ways for anti-viral interference.
Nine chapters and an editorial written by physicists, chemists, biologists and computational experts describe how virions serve as trail blazers in uncharted territory of cells. The authors outline how particles change in composition as they interact with host cells. Such virus dynamics are crucial for virus entry into cells and infection. It influences the modern concepts of virus-host interactions, viral lineages and evolution.
The volume gives numerous up-to-date examples of modern virology and provides a fascinating read for researchers, clinicians and students in the field of infectious diseases.
Features
• Assists readers to understand the physical nature of virus particles and their impact on disease mechanisms, precision medicine, and controlled drug delivery
• Brings together an interdisciplinary group of mathematicians, physicists, chemists, and biologists to explore the physical nature of virus particles
• Explores how virus particles interact with cells during entry and assembly, and link the cell biology of the underlying processes with the physical nature of the particles
