โฆ Synopsis
Enables students and professionals to develop a deep understanding of fundamental virology by emphasizing principles and discussing virusesorganized by virus family.
- Examines individual virus families within the context of the Baltimore classification system, a key unifying theme that allows readers to assume basic facts about the replication strategy of a virus based on the nature of its genome.
- Explores the various modes of virus infection and disease, and considers host defenses against microorganisms and viral countermeasures to subvert those host defenses.
- Details the organization of the viral genome and its pattern of expression, with additional discussions covering viral structure, entry, assembly, release, and associated medical issues.
