Abstract

The current concept of viruses, the methods of viruses and their reproduction in laboratories, and the determination of their physical and chemical properties have all made progress in this century. Including recent advances in cell and molecular biology, Multiple factors that selectively damage cells can be identified. In neurology over the past 20 years, viral causes associated with acute inflammatory diseases of the nervous system have also been implicated in malformations, tumors and degeneration, demyelination and cerebrovascular disease. aspects of the problem (Johnson and Narayan 1974). The topic proposed by the author is to explain the different pathological manifestations of viral infection through the fact that different cell populations have different sensitivities to different viruses, and viral infection has different effects on host cells
