Product Details

Product Description

Product Description

Completely revised and updated to reflect important advances in the field, Principles of Virology, Second Edition continues to fill the gap between simple introductory texts and very advanced reviews of major virus families, introducing upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and medical students to all aspects of virology. The second edition retains all of the defining and much-praised features of the first edition, focusing on concepts and principles and presenting a comprehensive treatment from molecular biology to pathogenesis and infection control. Written in an engagingly readable style and generously illustrated with over 400 full-color illustrations, this approachable volume offers detailed examples that illustrate common principles, specific strategies adopted by different viruses to ensure their reproduction, and the current state of virology research. The text focuses on concepts and principles and covers not only aspects of molecular biology, but also pathogenesis, evolution, emergence, and control, and will also be a valuable resource for practicing physicians and scientists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for grad students, Mar 17 2008
By Rosalind Franklin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Principles of Virology: Molecular Biology Pathogenesis & Control (Hardcover)
I used this book in my graduate level virology class, and I thought it was great. I really like how the book is divided into basic concepts in the viral life cycle (i.e. entry, genome replication, etc), and then discusses the strategies that different viruses use during these steps in the cell. I prefer this to most other virology texts I've seen, where they just catalog viruses by species, and don't make connections between how different viruses deal with similar situations in the cell.

NOTE: I would not recommend this text for undergrads, however. It's a very densely written book, and covers a lot of ground. For undergrads, I'd recommend something more basic, like the Voyles text.

3.0 out of 5 stars Quick Review of: Principles of Virology: Molecular Biology, Pathogenesis, and Control of Animal Viruses, Mar 22 2006
By G. George - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Principles of Virology: Molecular Biology Pathogenesis & Control (Hardcover)
This book is written in such a way as to be difficult to read. The book has great information, but the readability is not terribly good.
