Produktbeschreibung

Introduction to General Virology provides a broad overview of the fundamental and applied aspects of virology. The book covers milestones in the development of virology, the general properties of viruses, morphology, genome organization and genetics, replication strategies and taxonomy. The remaining parts cover specific types of viruses, the properties, classification, structural organization, and lifecycle of bacteriophages, select human and animal viruses, plant virology, plant virus classification, nomenclature, disease symptoms, transmission, detection and diagnosis, management and control. This book is an informative, introductory resource for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, professors, or researchers entering virology, microbiology and infectious diseases.
