title: Virus-cell interactions in the nervous system and the role of the immune response.
abstract: The outcome of a viral infection within the nervous system depends on a complex interplay between the virus, its target cell and the immune system. Recent research has elucidated a variety of mechanisms involved in these interactions and their role in the production of disease.
