Description
Principles of Molecular Virology, Second Edition, provides an essential introduction to modern virology. Focusing on a molecular approach, this text presents the principles of virology in a clear and concise manner that gives students of biology or medicine a broad, comprehensive understanding of the subject. The text explores and explains the fundamental aspects of virology including structure of virus particles and genomes, virus replication, control of gene expression, virus pathogenesis (including AIDS), and detailed, up-to-date discussions of prion diseases. This new edition is expanded and has been completely revised and updated with many new figures and tables which complement the text. The summaries and new self-assessment questions at the end of each chapter provide excellent revision aids.
