PHP New Book : What are the Animal-Derived Viruses that Come Next to the Novel Coronavirus? In this book, a virologist who is drawing attention for his suggestion without fear of criticism introduces viruses that may threaten human society if they mutate, such as viruses transmitted by dogs and cats and simian retrovirus type 4, which caused the death of a total of 50 Japanese monkeys by shedding blood. In fact, however, only a small part of the viruses are pathogenic. Rather than causing disease, there are viruses that stimulated the evolution of mammals more than 100 million years ago. That is to say, retroviruses that have the ability to rewrite the host DNA and are said to have been involved in the formation of the mammalian placenta. This book also explains the amazing power of retroviruses. It also explains themes such as "What is a virus in the first place?" and "Novel Coronavirus Vaccine." This is the author's first single book that contains the contents of classes for first year students (all faculties) and second year students of the School of Medicine conducted at Kyoto University by the author who advocates "multi-dimensional" virology. It aims to provide easy-to-understand explanations so that even high school students can fully understand it.
