Book Chapter
Sousa, F. H., Casanova, V., Stevens, C., & Barlow, P. G. (2016). Antiviral host defence peptides. In R. M. Epand (Ed.), Host Defense Peptides and Their Potential as Therapeutic Agents (57-94). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-32949-9_3

The on going global mortality and morbidity associated with viral pathogens highlights the need for the continued development of effective, novel antiviral molecules. The antiviral activity of cationic host defence peptides is of significant interest... Read More about Antiviral host defence peptides..
