--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Review"This book provides undergraduates with an excellent overview of molecular virology. This is an absolutely necessary book for students who have not been exposed to this topic and require a book that provides this information in a clear and concise manner. Updated editions are extremely important in such a rapidly changing field. New discoveries have been included in this edition which enables students to feel that they are receiving the latest information."

* Pronunciation section in Glossary and Abbreviations section
* Key events in the history of virology
* CD-ROM containing interactive material to complement the text
Praise for Previous Editions
"An excellent virological text for students. It is recommended in many university undergraduate courses for good reason. It is written in an accessible styleÂ… well illustratedÂ… I suspect the self-assessment questions will be usefully plundered by those setting examinations. I have no doubt there will be a third edition."
--TRENDS IN GENETICS
"ExcellentÂ… The writing flows easily with good practical examplesÂ… An attractive, up-to-date book and is an excellent buy that I can strongly recommend."
--SOCIETY FOR GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY QUARTERLY
"More suitable for an undergraduate class than any other text I have recently seenÂ… Readable and undergraduate friendly, and it fills a definite niche."
--AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MICROBIOLOGY NEWS
"CompactÂ… and realistically pricedÂ… Present[s] molecular virology to an undergraduate audience in an easily digestible form."
--TRENDS IN MICROBIOLOGY
"A short, straightforward, inexpensive paperback that concentrates on the basic principles of molecular virologyÂ… Provide[s] a good starting point for non-virologists to rapidly acquire a working knowledge of the area."
--TRENDS IN BIOCHEMISTRY
"Well worth its priceÂ… the text is easy to follow and represents a fantastic blend of basic principles, corresponding techniques and applied views."
--ZEIT FUR PFLANZENKRANKHEITEN UND PFLANZENSCHUTZ
"There is a remarkable amount of detail included for so small a book. This well-written text provides a very useable introduction to virology. The information provided is current. It would be a worthwhile addition to the library of teachers of undergraduate virology."
