A Dictionary of Virology, Second Edition

This second edition has been completely revised and updated to provide a succinct but comprehensive description of every virus affecting vertebrate species, from humans to fish. Nearly 3500 entries include commonly used cell lines, and explanations of terms applicable in molecular biology as related to viruses. References to antiviral drugs used clinically or experimentally, and numerous anecdotal facts that would be difficult to find by searching textbooks or other literature on medical or veterinary virology, make this an invaluable resource at all times.
