5.0 out of 5 starsGood overview
By Howard Schneider on November 26, 2000
Format: 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.

5.0 out of 5 starsvirus book
By Paul E. Sangster on March 15, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is a very fascinating book for anyone who has an interest in the way viruses work and how they cause disease. It is mildly to moderately technical. The book is dated in that much has been discovered since it was written in the early 90s, but it is still has much useful information.

By JDP on September 12, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Well the book is well written, unfortunatly it is somewhat dated by more recent work. The fact is there are more up to date books available, but it might serve as a good introduction to anyone without genetic background.
