title: RNA viruses: emerging vectors for vaccination and gene therapy.
abstract: The application of modern molecular techniques has profoundly influenced our understanding of virus function. As a consequence, virus biology is being directly applied to medical research. It is a reflection of the current pace of virology that we are now beginning to think of our ancient foes as useful and beneficial tools.
