The early chapters provide a thorough and clearly written background to the necessary molecular biology, and are suitable both for the beginner but also as a short refresher course. The book uses figures and schematics extremely well to explain a number of diverse virus replication cycles in helpful stages, building towards the bigger picture each time. Supporting chapters exploring concepts such as vaccines, therapeutics and pathology make the book a very complete yet compact review of modern virology. I highly recommend this book.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eDR CAROLINE GRIFFITHS, SENIOR LECTURER IN VIROLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, OXFORD BROOKES UNIVERSITY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVirology is a fascinating and rapidly developing subject. The introduction of new laboratory techniques and the continued application of established methods are producing a wealth of new information. Virology is a branch of science that is of immense relevance to mankind for a host of reasons, not least of which is the threat to human health caused by viruses, such as HIV, the hepatitis B virus, papillomaviruses, measles and influenza viruses, to mention just a few.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second edition of \u003ci\u003eVirology\u003c\/i\u003e is an accessible introduction designed to enable students to understand the principles of virus structure, replication and genetics.
