Principles of Virology

by S. Jane Flint, Vincent R. Racaniello, Glenn F. Rall

"Principles of Virology" is the leading virology textbook because it does more than collect and present facts about individual viruses. Instead, it facilitates an understanding of basic virology by examining the shared processes and capabilities of viruses. Using a set of representative viruses to present the complexity and diversity of a myriad of viruses, this rational approach enables students to understand how reproduction is accomplished by known viruses and provides the tools for future encounters with new or understudied viruses.

This fully updated edition represents the rapidly changing field of virology. A major new feature is the inclusion of 26 video interviews with leading scientists who have made significant contributions to the field of virology.

Applicable courses: undergraduate courses in virology and microbiology as well as graduate courses in virology and infectious diseases.

Genres: Science, Biology, Textbooks, Nonfiction, Health

[Vincent Racaniello]

Principles-based discussion of virology, with outstanding illustrations. Added bonus: buy this book and if you have any questions, just email one of the authors: me. Easily found online.

Epic

[Arthur Sperry]

Very interesting book with some great illustrations, and not too technical if you have some biology background. I read it fairly slowly over a decent period of time.

[Maryam Aftabi]

The best Virology textbook.

I love this book. It’s clear and I wish I could justify buying the more up to date version.
