NEW EDITION:

Human Virology
© 2011 Oxford University Press Inc.
Authors: Leslie Collier, John Oxford and Paul Kellam
Human Virology is the perfect introduction to the subject for anyone who needs to understand how viruses impact on human health, and how they can be managed in a clinical context. It does not seek to turn its readers into virologists, but to provide them with enough knowledge of the nature of viruses and viral infections to serve as an essential foundation for anyone encountering viruses in a clinical or biomedical context.
Human Virology describes the general principles of viral biology - the properties of viruses, their replication and genetics - along with disease and resistance, before introducing the infections caused by key groups of viruses. It concludes with an overview of the management of viral disease, including diagnosis and immunization.
Features:
- Carefully tailored in terms of breadth and depth to the needs of medicine and biomedicine students: covers all the essential concepts without extraneous details
- Short, focused chapters and clear, uncluttered design make the book easy to navigate and extract information from
- Custom-drawn figures and photomicrographs complement the text, helping the reader to grasp key concepts
- Greater explanation of virology at the molecular level, supported by new figures
- Increased coverage of viral replication
- Many chapters introduced by new 'Fundamental Concepts' panels, including viral lifecycle boxes, and timelines to show significant landmarks following the discovery of a virus, to give an at-a-glance overview of the topic
- Case studies throughout illustrate the clinical relevance of the subject
