Comprehensive Virology Vol. 16: Virus-Host Interactions: Viral Invasion, Persistence, and Disease
The time seems ripe for a critical compendium of that segment of the biological universe we call viruses. Virology, as a science, having passed only recently through its descriptive phase of naming and num bering, has probably reached that stage at which relatively few new truly new-viruses will b...
