Principles of Molecular Virology, Seventh Edition provides an easily accessible introduction to modern virology, presenting principles in a clear and concise manner. The new edition provides the history of virology and the fundamentals of the molecular basis of how viruses work. It discusses the interactions which control the structure of virus particles, the ways viruses infect cells, how viruses replicate themselves, and the consequences and pathogenesis of virus infection for host organisms. This fully updated edition also reflects advances made in the field and includes new content on phage therapy, CRISPR as a phage defense / offense system, new ideas about evolution, and giant viruses. With the addition of ancillary resources, Principles of Molecular Virology, Seventh Edition is an essential foundational reference for academics, graduate students, and advance undergraduates in virology, molecular biology, and microbiology as well as researchers entering virology, infectious disease, and immunology research. Provides a conceptual approach to the principles of molecular virology, with important examples of new advances in virologyIncludes new concepts in this edition include coverage of emerging topics and new technologies in viral research like phage therapy, CRISPR as a phage defense / offense system, new ideas about evolution, and giant virusesContains updated learning outcomes and further reading for each chapterSupported by online resources for students and instructors INDICE: 1.
