Summary Explains the means of diagnosis and treatment of polyomavirus, and outlines the history, pathology, symptoms, and treatment of diseases induced by human polyomavirus. This book discusses the virus and explores the information on polyomavirus, transplant related pathobiology, histopathology, diagnosis, management, and pharmacotherapy
