Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Designed to fill the existing gap between simple introductory texts and very advanced reviews of major virus families, this volume introduces upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and medical students to all aspects of virology. Written in a readable style and illustrated with over 400 full-colour illustrations, this approachable volume offers detailed examples that illustrate common principles, specific strategies adopted by different viruses to ensure their reproduction, and the state of virology research.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The science of virology: Foundations of virology -- Virus cultivation, detection and genetics -- Molecular biology: Virus structure -- Virus attachment to host cells -- Virus entry into cells -- Genome replication and mRNA production by RNA viruses -- Reverse transcription and integration: hallmarks of the retroid viruses -- Transcription strategies: DNA templates -- Genome replication strategies: DNA viruses -- Processing of viral pre-mRNA -- Translational control of viral gene expression -- Intracellular transport of viral components: prelude to assembly -- Assembly, exit and maturation of progeny virions -- Pathogenesis and control: Virus offense meets host defense -- Patterns of infection: a delicate balance -- Viral transformation and oncogenesis -- Viral pathogenesis -- Multiple facets of human immunodeficiency virus pathogenicity -- Prevention and control of viral diseases -- Virus evolution and the emergence of new viruses.
