N2  - This book explains the means of diagnosis and treatment of polyomavirus and contains an ample outline of the history, pathology, symptoms, and treatment of diseases induced by human polyomavirus. This volume is divided into four sections which thoroughly explore the most up to date information on polyomavirus including a general discussion of the virus, exploration of transplant related pathobiology, histopathology, diagnosis, management, and pharmacotherapy, afflictions and diseases caused by polyoma-JC virus and neoplastic associations of polyomaviruses. This comprehensive text will provide the reader with information on all of the latest advancements in the area
