Maternal cells with latent viruses transport viruses without impairment of fetal development. Fetal and neonatal tumours are initiated by such cells in spite of the antitumour potential of fetal organism. On the contary, the fetal cells repair maternal tissue injouries and survive in the organisms of the recipients for decades.

From the reviews: "This volume written by virology experts reviews in addition to the maternal-fetal interaction of human viruses, with emphasis on those which influence the development and tumorigenesis in the fetus and neonate. Of interest to virologists, obstetricians, neonatologists, immunologists and oncologists. A timely text." (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews (PER), Vol. 10 (2), January, 2013)
