This comprehensive book aims to provide a detailed account of the latest advancements in the field of pseudotyped viruses. It delves into the construction of these viruses, employing diverse strategies and vectors for the most significant viruses. Particularly noteworthy is the focus on emerging viruses, where optimization of assay development conditions and parameters based on pseudotyped viruses has gained significant importance. These pseudotyped viruses serve as valuable surrogates for authentic viruses, enabling studies of viral biological functions, the detection of neutralizing antibodies, the screening of viral entry inhibitors, and other crucial applications.

The book encompasses a wide range of pseudotyped viruses, featuring parent viruses with incomplete genomes displaying the target virus's protein on their surface. This unique arrangement allows researchers to study these viruses in a more controlled and reproducible manner, enhancing our understanding of their behavior and interactions with host cells.

With its extensive coverage and insightful insights, this book is expected to be of immense interest to researchers engaged in the fields of virology, vaccine, and anti-viral drug development and evaluation. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars and professionals seeking to stay updated with the latest developments in this rapidly evolving field.
