, 2009 Viruses are obligatory intracellular parasites, whose replication depends on pathways and functions of the host cell. Consequently, it is difficult to define virus-specific functions as suitable targets for anti-infective therapy. However, significant progress has been made in the past 50 years towards the development of effective and specific ...
