Development survey of neurovirology

Abstract

As a new subdiscipline, neurovirology derives from medical virology and neurology. Its research field includes both clinical practice of viral infectious diseases of the nervous system and fundamental research of medical virology. With rapidly advancing of molecular biology and development of new technique, virology is developed into molecular level from antibody and cellular levels. Technology of monoclonal antibody, nucleic acid hybridization and viral genetic engineering not only promote theoretical study of molecular virology, but also possess application value on both rapid diagnosis of viral infectious diseases and preparation of vaccine. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1672⁃6731.2014.07.002
