Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The fourth edition of this introductory textbook in virology for undergraduates has been revised to reflect current research, and includes an additional chapter on HIV and AIDS. It uses a structural and functional approach, rather than the traditional taxonomic method, and demonstrates how advances in molecular and cell biology and genetics are influencing the field. Coverage includes handling animal viruses, viral nucleic acids, processes of infection, interferon, and tumor viruses. An appendix lists inhibitors and other compounds used in virology.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
