(The outbreaks of myxomatosis among rabbits in Australia i...)
The outbreaks of myxomatosis among rabbits in Australia in 1950 and in Europe in 1952 provided scientists with opportunities of observing the course of the interaction of a very lethal virus disease with a large population of highly susceptible mammals, i.e. with a model system to study the evolution of an infectious disease, and the effects of an infectious disease on the evolution of a mammal. This scientific account of the spread of the disease in Australia and Europe, of its effects upon rabbit numbers, and of the genetic changes that occurred in parasite and host, is of great interest to ecologists, virologists, parasitologists, mammalian zoologists, geneticists, agriculturists, and public health workers, as well as to those directly concerned with rabbit raising or control.

(Medical Virology first appeared in 1970 and was immediate...)
Medical Virology first appeared in 1970 and was immediately hailed as a classic. The Fourth Edition has been completely updated, substantially rewritten, and considerably expanded. Acknowledging that today's students possess a more sophisticated background of molecular and cellular biology, the book is pitched a little higher than was the third edition. Nevertheless, it maintains the exceptionally high standards of the three previous editions, including the now famous user-friendly style. Hundreds of instructive diagrams and succinct tables smooth the path for the reader. Extensive lists of recent authoritative reviews at the end of each of the 36 chapters simplifies the reader's entry into the scientific literature. Throughout, the focus is on fundamental principles, mechanisms and basic facts, rather than on overwhelming detail. Part I of the book, expanded to over 400 pages, comprises in effect a self-contained overview of the Principles of Virology. Part II, entitled Viruses of Humans, deals comprehensively with all the families of human viruses. Extensive coverage is given to the molecular biology of the viruses and of viral replication, pathogenesis and immunity, clinical features of all important diseases caused by all viruses affecting humans, the latest laboratory diagnostic methods, epidemiology and control, including chemotherapy and vaccines. This lucid and concise yet comprehensive text is admirably suited to the needs not only of advanced students of science and medicine but also particularly of postgraduate students, teachers, and research workers in all areas of virology. Key Features * Molecular biology of viruses and viral replication * Pathogenesis and immunity * Latest laboratory diagnostic methods * Clinical features of human viral diseases * Vaccines and chemotherapy * Epidemiology and control

FROM THE REVIEWS OF THE FIRST EDITION "Directed toward students of multiple disciplines in veterinary medicine, all can reap the benefits of this current, clear, logical, well illustrated, and easily read text." - ASM NEWS This new edition of Veterinary Virology has been completely revised. Like the First Edition, it is divided into two parts: Principles of Animal Virology and Viruses of Domestic Animals. A new family has been introduced (Circoviridie) and advances in retrovirology, viral diagnosis, and viral immunity, including antigen processing and presentation, are discussed.
