Principles of Virology

"Principles of Virology: 2-Volume Set - Bundle, 4th Edition" by S. Jane Flint, Lynn W. Enquist, Vincent R. Racaniello, Glenn F. Rall, and Anna Marie Skalka is a comprehensive textbook that focuses on the basic principles of viral reproduction. The book emphasizes the common processes that every virus must follow for reproduction, while also highlighting the differences in how various viruses achieve these steps. This rational approach not only helps students understand how known viruses reproduce but also prepares them for studying new and understudied viruses. The two-volume set is divided into: Volume I: Molecular Biology – Covers the molecular mechanisms behind viral reproduction. Volume II: Pathogenesis & Control – Focuses on viral interactions with the host and strategies for controlling viral infections. With updated content and a clear, principle-based approach, this textbook is an essential resource for students studying virology, microbiology, and infectious diseases at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
