Beschreibung

This fully revised second edition leads students on an exploration of viruses by supporting interactive learning. All the major classes of viruses are covered, with separate chapters for their replication and expression strategies. Examples come from the most-studied and medically important viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, HIV and influenza.
