Coxsackievirus as a model of viral evolution driven by dietary oxidative stress
Article Abstract:
Research presented concerns the relationship between human nutrition and viral virulence, focusing on the impact of selenium deficiency on Keshan disease and coxsackievirus infections. Topics addressed include how the biological and genetic characteristics of the coxsackievirus can be altered by oxidative stress in the host.
