"""Viral Fusion Mechanisms"" presents a comprehensive review of this subject. The book focuses on molecular mechanisms rather than phenomenology and examines a wide range of viruses, including influenza, HIV, Sendai, SFV, Vaccinia, VSV, and RSV. Recent theoretical work on dissecting protein-mediated membrane fusion is discussed, and the most new technologies for elucidating mechanisms are highlighted."
