Oncogenic Viruses: Fundamentals of Oncoviruses provides an overview of the history of human oncoviruses, how to discover and define an oncovirus, how viruses cause cancer in general, their oncogenic mechanisms and epidemiology, and the cancer biology of oncoviruses. The book is organized into five main parts that include history and discovery of virus-tumor complications, taxonomy and classification of oncoviruses, oncoviruses around the world, including epidemiology statistics and current methods. Finally, the book looks at the molecular epidemiology of DNA and RNA viruses and their role in the pathogenesis of human cancers.
1. Part one: History, discovery and Taxonomy of viruses-tumor complications 2. Part two: Taxonomy and classification of oncoviruses: Structural organization, Genetic organization, Oncoviruses Morphology in electronic microscopy 3. Part three: Oncoviruses around the world: epidemiology statistics; current methods and studies of oncoviruses. 4. Part four: DNA oncoviruses: (Human papilloma virus (HPV), Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus, Epstein–Barr virus (EBV or HHV-4), Merkel cell polyoma virus , Human cytomegalovirus (CMV or HHV-5) 5. Part five: RNA oncoviruses: (Mammary mouse tumor viruses (MMTV), Human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV1,), hepatitis C virus and hepatocarcinoma, retroviruses, Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)).
