Molecular Virology Molecular and Medical Aspects of Disease-Causing Viruses of Man and Animals
This book was written during a period when the technologies of genetic engineering were being applied to the study of animal viruses and when the organization and function of individual virus genes were being elucidated. This book, which uses human and animal viruses as models, aims to under stand...
