This review is from: Viruses: A Scientific American Library Book (Hardcover)
This reference provides an easy to read overview of viruses. It starts with a chapter describing cells and the steps a virus must accomplish in its replicative cycle. Chapters then follow on bacteriophages and their contribution to our understanding of molecular biology, the defenses of cells against viruses, herpesviruses, DNA tumor viruses, retroviruses, influenza A viruses, and hepatitis viruses. The last chapter then considers the origins and evolution of viruses.
