The aim of this text is to present the fundamental principles of med ogy to students of science and medicine. It is also hoped that it will useful resource for teachers of virology, specialists in infectious dise postgraduate students. The pace of change in the eight years since i ous edition has been so great that the book has necessarily been sub rewritten and expanded. The essential plan of previous editions retained, but our account of the molecular biology of viral infection detailed than in The third edition. Part I of the book presents an on the principles of animal virology, while Part II, entitled Viruses of human. arranged by virus family, is oriented toward the needs of medical and clinicians
