Fundamentals of Molecular Virology

FEATURES OF FUNDAMENTALS OF MOLECULAR VIROLOGY:Clear style. Written in a simple and clear style for students with a background in cell and molecular biology.Full–color figures. Numerous full–color figures complement the text and illustrate virus structure, genome organization, and individual steps in virus replication.Extended coverage. This second edition has five new chapters: Cucumber Mosaic Virus; Viruses of Archaea; Viruses of Algae and the giant Mimivirus; Intrinsic Cellular Responses Against Virus Infection; and Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses to Virus Infection. All other chapters have been revised and updated.Study aids include thumbnail sketches of each virus group, informative chapter subheadings, and a comprehensive glossary with definitions of numerous terms.Chapter introductions give historical background and information about viral diseases.Text boxes throughout the book feature exciting and current developments in molecular virology or practical applications of viruses in science and medicine.Key Terms, Fundamental Concepts, and Review Questions at the end of each chapter help students review and organize information they have learned.Information on human pathogens. Includes chapters on important human pathogens including herpes viruses, hepatitis B and C viruses, human immunodeficiency virus, influenza viruses, measles virus, poliovirus, smallpox virus, West Nile virus, and others.
