| Summary |
The book gives a comprehensive overview on the knowledge of virus infection relevant for humans and animals. For each virus family the molecular details of the virus particle and the viral replication cycle are described. In the case of virus types with relevance for human and/or animal health the data on molecular biology, genetics and virus-cell interaction are combined with those concerning, pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinics, prevention and therapy |
| Notes |
"This work is based on the 3rd German languages edition of Molekulare Virologie, by Susanne Modrow, Dietrich Falke, Uwe Truyen, Hermann Schätzl, published by Spektrum Akademischer Verlag, Heidelberg, 2010." |
