FROM THE REVIEWS OF THE FIRST EDITION
"Directed toward students of multiple disciplines in veterinary medicine, all can reap the benefits of this current, clear, logical, well illustrated, and easily read text."
- ASM NEWS
This new edition of Veterinary Virology has been completely revised. Like the First Edition, it is divided into two parts: Principles of Animal Virology and Viruses of Domestic Animals. A new family has been introduced (Circoviridie) and advances in retrovirology, viral diagnosis, and viral immunity, including antigen processing and presentation, are discussed.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
PRAISE FOR THE SECOND EDITION
"The information is clearly presented, current, and easy to read...The book contains information not available in other texts of this type and would be a valuable addition to any personal or institutional library."
--AUSTRALIAN VETERINARY JOURNAL
"This book is very well-written and reflects the enthusiasm of the distinguished authors for the subject matter. The text is directed primarily at veterinary students and is entirely appropriate for this readership. This reviewer has regularly recommended the previous edition to veterinary undergraduates at the Ontario Veterinary College, and will continue to recommend the Second Edition."
@CANADIAN VETERINARY JOURNAL
"Veterinary Virology is a well-worked text, coming as close as any available to the task of reconciling the enormous advances in basic virology with the needs of those interested in the associated animal diseases."
--W. PLOWRIGHT, THE VETERINARY RECORD
