From the Publisher
Virology is the branch of microbiology which is concerned with viruses and viral diseases. Viruses are microbes that invade living cells and reproduce within those cells, often causing cell death or dysfunction that results in disease in the host organism. This second edition offers more up-to-date coverage of retroviruses, anti-viral drugs and viral epidemiology, and a new chapter on the human herpes virus.
