pertinent background information. Since new data are usually available to the author only from his own laboratory, work of others is rarely covered adequately. In the course of publication the novelty of the studies reported in a symposium is inevitably lost, the give and take of the discussion is seldom reproduced and one is left with a disconnected group of papers, each emphasizing work in on...

leukemia is not so much the sheer volume of information, but the sense that these three streams of thought are gradually finding certain common mechanistic ground wherein genetics, viruses, and hormones may all play discrete parts in the pathogenesis of these complex disorders. It is toward this goal that editors Gale and Golde vigorously encourage future research directions in hope of achievin...

In 1997, in an effort to improve the pursuit of virology in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, a group of scientists proposed the establishment of a Viral Genetic Diversity Network (VGDN) to São Paulo’s major scientific funding agency, Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP). The major impetus for the project was the earlier establishment of the Xylella fastidiosa genome sequ...

Avian tumor viruses are important, economically significant pathogens in the poultry industry, and can provide scientific insight in topics that cannot be experimented in humans. The present review will present viral-induced tumors in poultry and will emphasize the specific findings that can be taken from their study, regarding (a) multiple virus infections in vivo, (b) molecular interactions i...
