Neurotropic RNA viruses continue to emerge and are increasingly linked to diseases of the
central nervous system (CNS) despite viral clearance. Indeed, the overall mortality of viral …

Neurotropic RNA virus infections cause a major neurological disease burden. Due to the
morbidity and mortality rates of viral encephalitides worldwide, there is a need to develop …

Many newly emerging and re-emerging viruses have neuroinvasive potential, underscoring
viral encephalitis as a global research priority. Upon entry of the virus into the CNS, severe …

It is becoming clear that the manner by which the immune response resolves or contains
infection by a pathogen varies according to the tissue that is affected. Unlike many …

Viral infections of the central nervous system (CNS) cause variable outcomes from acute to
severe neurological sequelae with increased morbidity and mortality. Viral neuroinvasion …

A successful outcome for the host of virus infection of the central nervous system (CNS)
requires the elimination of the virus without damage to essential non-renewable cells, such …

Viral infections are a major cause of human disease. Although most viruses replicate in
peripheral tissues, some have developed unique strategies to move into the nervous …

Viruses are the major causative agents of central nervous system (CNS) infection worldwide.
RNA and DNA viruses trigger broad activation of glial cells including microglia and …

The articles compiled in this special edition of Journal of NeuroVirology target a developing
field of investigation seeking to uncover how the immune system affects both the pathogenic …

Inflammation is emerging as a critical mechanism underlying neurological disorders of
various etiologies, yet its role in altering brain function as a consequence of neuroinfectious …
