Principles of Virology: Molecular Biology, Vol. 1 » (3rd Edition)

Now in two conveniently sized volumes, Principles of Virology, 3rd Edition, is completely revised and updated to reflect important advances in the field. The textbook continues to fill the gap between introductory texts and advanced reviews of major virus families. These two volumes provide upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and medical students with a state-of-the-art introduction to all aspects of virology. Written in an engaging style and generously illustrated with over 600 full-color illustrations, these accessible volumes offer detailed examples to illustrate common principles, specific strategies to ensure replication and propagation of viruses, and a crucial overview of the current state of research in virology.

New in the 3rd Edition:

Organized into two convenient-to-carry and beautifully illustrated paperback volumes-Volume I (Molecular Biology) and Volume II (Pathogenesis and Control)-each with its own glossary and appendix
Volumes I and II may be purchased separately or together in a bundle at a reduced per-volume price
The two stand-alone volumes illustrate the strategies by which all viruses are propagated, how infections spread, and how they are maintained in populations
Volume I features the molecular processes that take place in an infected cell
Volume II offers a concise treatment of the interplay between viruses and their host organisms
Introduces new chapters that discuss principles of infection of hosts and populations as well as a basic introduction to the mathematics of viral growth
