Principles of Virology, Volume 2: Pathogenesis and Control, 4th Edition

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.
