Abstract:
:Exhaustive information on the Epstein-Barr virus, a member of the herpes family, is described at the International Herpes Management Forum web-site. Cervical cancer associations, AIDS treatment projects, and the Los Alamos National Laboratories provide useful information on papillomavirus infections, as well as hyperlinks to recent international papillomavirus conferences. A private pharmaceutical company, in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health, has launched a lively web-site covering different aspects of microbial infections for the general public.
