Description :
This volume, derived from Encyclopedia of
Virology, provides an overview of the development of virology during the last
ten years. Entries detail the nature, origin, phylogeny and evolution of
viruses. It then moves into a summary of our understanding of the structure and
assembly of virus particles and describes how this knowledge was obtained.
Genetic material of viruses and the different mechanisms used by viruses to
infect and replicate in their host cells are highlighted. The volume is rounded
out with an overview of some major groups of viruses with particular attention
being given to our current knowledge of their molecular biology.
The most comprehensive single-volume source
providing an overview of virology to non-specialists
Bridges the gap between basic undergraduate
texts and specialized reviews
Concise and general overviews of important
topics within the field will help when preparing for lectures, writing reports,
or drafting grant applications
