Description
This text is for use on undergraduate and graduate courses in human viruses and pathogenesis of viral diseases. A comprehensive introduction to the field of virology, this text covers the history of the field and the evolution of the virus family, relating them in terms of genetic information and their relationship to the host. Features of this edition include a reorganization of the content in order to introduce the family of viruses in association with major clinical and biological features. A new chapter is included on major worldwide human diseases; new families of viruses are considered; and more information is provided on the replicative cycle of viruses.
