Designed for graduate students and researchers in all biological
and biomedical sciences, this volume brings together the basic
science chapters from the two-volume Fourth Edition of Fields
Virology. These 37 chapters comprise a comprehensive text and
reference on the concepts and research techniques of
contemporary virology and the biochemistry, molecular biology,
and replication of all viruses. The first part of the book
covers basic concepts of general virology and the second part
focuses on specific virus families.
