NEW EDITION:

Human Virology

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.

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
