Abstract excerpt
The genetic diversity of viruses and the genetic constitution (polygenic configuration) of susceptible organisms participate together in the determination of a virus disease and of its clinical forms. Genes of sensitivity to viral infection, genes of nonspecific defense (encoding for interferons, complement factors), immune response regulating genes and immunoglobulin genes would form the background of an...
