Comprehensive Virology 10 Regulation and Genetics Viral Gene Expression and Integration

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...
