Description
Completely rewritten, this edition has expanded coverage of zoonotic viruses and the diseases they cause, and viruses and viral diseases
of laboratory animals, poultry, fish, and wildlife. The concept of new emerging and reemerging viral diseases reflects the new perspective
this concept has brought to veterinary and zoonotic virology and related fields.
Part I presents fundamental principles of virology related
to animal infection and disease. Part II details the properties and clinical features of the viruses that afflict animals and describes
their treatment and control.
Audience
Veterinary undergraduate and graduate students, postgraduates studying animal viruses, virologists, microbiologists, and veterinarians interested in infectious diseases.
