Description
Book SynopsisWritten by leading authors in the field with both clinical and molecular expertise, Human Virology provides an accessible introduction to this fascinating and important field, making the text ideal for students encountering virology for the first time.
Trade ReviewWithout reservation. I will be recommending this edition. I will be reaching for my copy of this book and lending it to trainees. The general principles section is short but very well-put together - impressive. Subsequent chapters are organised as per Baltimore classification of viruses - this approach gives an ease of use to students that was remarked upon by the two students that I lent the book to and was obvious to me. * Dr Conall P Mccaughey, Consultant Virologist, Regional Virus Laboratory, Kelvin Laboratories, The Royal Hospitals Trust, Belfast *
The book is exceptionally well-written in consistent and clear style. The writers have thought about the readers understanding. The clinical case studies are brilliant - superbly put together aimed at contextualising and making memorable the content. Several of them will be great resources to teachers. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book as did the two students that I lent it to. * Dr Conall P Mccaughey, Consultant Virologist, Regional Virus Laboratory, Kelvin Laboratories, The Royal Hospitals Trust, Belfast *
