520 ^a^"Viruses: Biology, Applications, and Control is a concisetextbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate studentsand is an updated and expanded version of the SecondEdition of David Harper^'s Molecular Virology. Focusing onkey mechanisms and developments, Viruses presents manyrecent scientific advances, including virus evolution,emerging infections, virus extinction, control ofinfections, antiviral drugs, gene therapy, bacteriophagetherapy, and diagnostics. The first chapters introduce thereader to the structure and nature of viruses, includingtheir classification and evolution. As viruses causewidespread and serious disease, the ensuing chaptersexplain how they interact with the immune system and thedifferent ways we try to defeat them: vaccines, antiviraldrugs, and immunotherapy. Laboratory methods for viraldetection and laboratory diagnosis are also covered. Whileviruses do cause disease, many do not, and their specialbiology means they can have beneficial uses and thisaspect of viruses is included. One of the most interestingareas in virology, given extensive coverage here, is hownew viruses emerge and establish themselves. Viruses:Biology, Applications, and Control is a rigorous treatmentof the molecular side of virology and its conceptualapproach makes it an essential text for students and non-specialists^"--Provided by publisher |
