Printedonacid-freepaper SpringerispartofSpringerScience+BusinessMedia(www.springer.com) Preface Today,knowledgeaboutvirusesordistinctaspectsofviralinfectionshasbecome important for our daily life. Continuously, we are confronted with headlines and newsconcerning,e.g.,newinfluenzaviruses,outbreaksofnorovirusepidemics,or transmission of otherwise rare zoonotic infections to humans. Due to the major progressinmolecularbiologyandbiotechnology,theknowledgeonviralinfections multiplied during the past decades. Thereby it is possible to characterize and identify new virus types rapidly after their first emergence. Rational development of both antiviral drugs and protective vaccines has reduced the potential danger emanatingfromvirusesforhumanandanimalhealth. Indeed,therearehardlyanyscientificdisciplinesthathavebenefitedfromeach other as much as molecular biology and virology. Several important processes in molecular biology and genetics have been initially discovered in viral systems as there is splicing of RNA precursors, nucleosomal structure of double-stranded DNA, or basic immunological defense reactions based on interferon-mediated effects. Additionally, the application of modern methods in molecular biology and biotechnology has led to an advanced knowledge and understanding of the processes involved in the infection caused by human and animal viruses. The Handbook of Molecular Virology tries to combine both disciplines to facilitate the understanding between the basic molecular process and the effects that are causedbytherespectivevirusinfectionsandmanifestedassymptomsordiseases. First published in Germany in 1996, the present volume represents the transla- tionofthethirdeditionofthetextbookMolekulareVirologie,whichappearedin print in 2010. In several places the text has been updated with recently published data.Themainfocusofallchaptersisonvirusinfections,theknowledgeofwhich is important for human and animal health. The content is divided into two parts: Chapters1–13addressgeneralaspectsofvirusreplication,structure,andimmuno- logical defense. In chapters 14–21, the molecular biology of each virus family is described in detail along with clinical and epidemiological data for the relevant viralinfections.PrimarilywrittenforreadersinCentralEurope,theGermanedition had a special focus on viral infections with relevance for the German-speaking countries.IntheEnglishedition,wehavetriedtoadaptthetextanddeleteddetails thatdescribetheepidemiologyandrequirementsofnotificationinCentralEurope.

WethankallthecoworkersfromSpringer,Heidelberg,thathavecontributedto the English edition as translators and copyeditors (Ariel Quin˜ones, Dr. Stuart Evans), and project managers (Daniel Quin˜ones, Dr. Sylvia Blago) who patiently answered all our questions. Furthermore, we are indebted to all our colleagues in virologywhowepesteredwithspecificquestionsinordertoobtainthemostrecent data and results. Dr. Hans Gelderblom supplied almost all the figures that show selected electron microscopic pictures of representative members of each virus family in combination with a chapter describing the basic methods in electron microscopy. Last but not least, we thank all our family members, friends and colleagues, who share our daily lives and who we had to neglect during the writing/translationprocess.
