Viral Immunology and Pathology


Viral Immunology is the field of virology, concerned with the study to understand mechanisms of virus-host interaction with a view of applying this knowledge to the design of effective vaccines and immune modulators that control viral infections.  We emphasize that our basic understanding of virus-host relationships is radically changed, but we lag behind in applying this knowledge to the successful control of many viral infections. A prolonged tissue-damage result in an immune reaction against viruses it is considered as immunopathology.
