商品描述
These books bring together a panel of expert arbovirologists who recall the history of arbovirology from very personal perspectives. In these timely volumes, the authors describe seminal moments in their experiences in the field and how they integrated these findings with lab studies to further clarify the ecology and epidemiology of diverse arboviruses. Authors identify the most pressing questions that remain to be answered, providing a basis for current research and a stimulus to engage those entering the field.
Over the last 20 years a generational gap has developed between the giants of arbovirus research and discovery and the new generation. This gap developed due to an ebbing of training and investment in passing the scepter to the next generation, leading to a lack of continuity among the generations that threatens to derail the rich history of virus discovery, field epidemiology and understanding of the richness of diversity that surrounds us. This lack of continuity may have immediate and disastrous consequences for public health when yet to be discovered arboviruses emerge. The purpose of these books is to bridge this gap by providing a historical context for the work being done today and provide continuity between the generations. To this end, the books provide a narrative of the thrill of scientific discovery and excitement of field adventures and lab studies of that generation -- essential reading for every arbovirologist, and highly recommended for all virologists and public health officials, as well as those students considering future research options. Volume I consists of the personal reflections of arbovirologists who played a significant role in the advancement of arbovirology across the globe. Volume II transitions to descriptions of region-specific and virus family-specific perspectives of arbovirology, as well as recollections of the early events of molecular advances and pathogenesis studies.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這些書籍匯集了一群專業的蚊媒病毒學家，他們從個人的角度回顧了蚊媒病毒學的歷史。在這些及時的卷冊中，作者們描述了他們在領域中的重要時刻，以及他們如何將這些發現與實驗室研究相結合，進一步澄清各種蚊媒病毒的生態學和流行病學。作者們確定了仍待解答的最迫切問題，為當前研究提供了基礎，並激勵那些進入這一領域的人。
在過去的20年中，蚊媒病毒研究和發現的巨人與新一代之間出現了一個代溝。這種代溝是由於培訓和投資的減少，未能將權杖傳遞給下一代，導致世代之間的連續性不足，這可能會威脅到病毒發現、野外流行病學和對我們周圍多樣性的理解的豐富歷史。這種連續性的缺乏可能會對公共衛生產生即時和災難性的影響，當尚未發現的蚊媒病毒出現時。這些書籍的目的是通過提供當今工作的歷史背景，並在世代之間提供連續性來彌合這一代溝。為此，這些書籍提供了一個科學發現的激動人心和野外冒險以及實驗室研究的敘述，這對每一位蚊媒病毒學家都是必讀的，並且強烈推薦給所有病毒學家和公共衛生官員，以及那些考慮未來研究選擇的學生。第一卷由在全球蚊媒病毒學發展中扮演重要角色的蚊媒病毒學家的個人反思組成。第二卷則轉向區域特定和病毒家族特定的蚊媒病毒學觀點的描述，以及對分子進展和病理學研究早期事件的回憶。

Professor emeritus, Laura Kramer, earned her BA degree from University of Pennsylvania, and her PhD from Cornell Medical College. As the former (now retired) Director of the Arbovirus Laboratories of the Wadsworth Center, New York State Department of Health, she led a research program on basic and applied field and laboratory studies examining the interactions of mosquito- and tick-borne arboviruses, arthropod vectors, and vertebrate hosts, and how these interactions impact transmission dynamics as well as emergence, persistence and evolution of the virus. She retired from NYSDOH in December 2020 and is currently Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biomedical Sciences of the School of Public Health, State University of New York at Albany. She also serves as an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Infectious Diseases, a virology moderator for ProMED (Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases) in the International Society for Infectious Diseases, and a contributing virus author for Merck Manuals in virology.
