Focuses on the human diseases and cellular pathology that viruses cause Highlights current and cutting-edge technology and associated issues Presents real case studies and current news highlights in each chapter Features dynamic illustrations, chapter assessment questions, key terms, and summary of concepts, as well as an instructor website with lecture slides, test bank, and recommended activities.
The author, Dr. Matthews, has written this coursebook based on his classic and comprehensive Plant Virology, Third Edition.
Four introductory chapters review properties of viruses and cells and techniques used in their study. Five chapters are devoted to current knowledge of all major plant viruses and related pathogens. Seven chapters describe biological properties such as transmission, host response, disease, ecology, control, classification, and evolution of plant viruses.
A historical and future overview concludes the text. Fundamentals of Plant Virology is a carefully designed instructional format for a plant virology course.
It is also an invaluable resource for students of plant pathology and plant molecular biology. Clinical Virology Author : Douglas D. For example, sequencing techniques from human specimens have identified numerous new members of several virus families, including new polyomaviruses, orthomyxoviruses, and bunyaviruses.
Clinical Virology, Fourth Edition, has been extensively revised and updated to incorporate the latest developments and relevant research. Chapters written by internationally recognized experts cover novel viruses, pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, organized into two major sections: Section 1 provides information regarding broad topics in virology, including immune responses, vaccinology, laboratory diagnosis, principles of antiviral therapy, and detailed considerations of important organ system manifestations and syndromes caused by viral infections.
Section 2 provides overviews of specific etiologic agents and discusses their biology, epidemiology, pathogenesis of disease causation, clinical manifestations, laboratory diagnosis, and management.
Clinical Virology provides the critical information scientists and health care professionals require about all aspects of this rapidly evolving field. Score: 3. The authors have produced a text that stimulates and encourages the student through the extensive use of clear, colour-coded diagrams.
Taking a modern approach to the subject, the relevance of virology to everyday life is clearly emphasised and discussion on emerging viruses, cancer, vaccines, anti-viral drugs gene vectors and pesticides is included.
It is also an invaluable resource for MSc level students who have previously done little or no virology and are looking for an accessible introduction to the subject. Score: 4. Basic Virology Author : Edward K. This accessible text focuses on the fundamentals of virology while stressing the basic concepts of molecular biology and immunology.
More than a simple update, the new edition also features a new viral genome section with strategies for including microarrays and DNA chips. Outstanding features of the second edition of Basic Virology include: New dedicated website — original animations and online resources provide students and instructors with an enhanced understanding of the field — www.
