Zusammenfassung:The plethora of miscommunication & disinformation about how SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) spreads suggests a widespread misunderstanding of how viruses work. This book will focus on the interpretation of scientific & medical results, giving the reader guidance on interpreting virological data, including the concepts of 'live' versus infectious virus. The first section covers the background of virology & immunology, introducing the reader to the science of virology (using COVID-19 as an illustration) & considers the measurement of infectious disease, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), molecular biology & the immune system. The second section looks at clinical virology & neurovirology. Taking a novel perspective on how viruses may play a role in evolution, this book discusses antivirals & how autoimmune disorders may be caused or triggered by viruses
