Introduction to Modern Virology (Ellis Horwood Series in Computers and Their Applications) - Softcover
Synopsis
Fully revised and updated, this fifth edition provides an integrated account of animal, plant and bacterial viruses. It covers the field of virology from molecular biology to disease processes. Topics include the molecular aspects of virion structure, virus entry, replication and gene expression of RNA and DNA viruses and the classic paradigm of lysogeny, whilst on the biomedical side, chapters deal with virus cultivation, immunology and carcinogenesis. Uniquely, human and animal virus diseases are dealt with generically within the text, bringing all infections within a highly manageable seven-section framework. Prevention and therapy, evolution and emerging viruses receive particular attention and specific chapters address the major infectious challenges posed by HIV, pandemic influenza and BSE. This edition provides valuable reading for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of biology and medicine wishing to study virology.

Nigel Dimmock is an internationally acclaimed virologist who has spent the major part of his career at the University of Warwick’s Department of Biological Sciences, where he is currently an emeritus professor. His main research interests are influenza viruses, HIV, and antiviral immunology.
Andrew Easton is professor of virology at the University of Warwick. Having spent two years working in the pharmaceutical industry he joined the department at Warwick in 1983 and became Head of the Virology Group in 1998. Easton’s research focuses on the molecular biology of pneumoviruses.
Keith Leppard is a reader at the University of Warwick. His research focuses on the interactions of adenovirus with the host cell, in particular the effects of adenoviral proteins on functions of the cell nucleus, and on the development of adenovirus as a gene delivery vehicle.
Review
" This popular volume continues to be demanded by the many undergraduates in virology and related fields for which it was originally written ... I would certainly recommend this book to anyone needing an introduction to virology and in addition the book is a useful reference source for those who have been in the field for some years.
