Description
Completely revised and updated, the new edition of this groundbreaking text integrates basic virology with pathophysiological conditions
to examine the connection between virology and human disease. Most virology textbooks focus on the molecular biology involved without
adequate reference to physiology. This text focuses on viruses that infect humans, domestic animals and vertebrates and is based on extensive
course notes from James Strauss’ virology class at the California Institute of Technology taught for over 30 years. Expertly depicting
in color the molecular structure and replication of each virus, it provides an excellent overview for students and professionals interested
in viruses as agents of human disease.
Audience:
Students and professionals in virology, molecular biology, and microbiology
