Principles of Molecular Virology provides an essential introduction to modern virology. Focusing on a molecular approach, this textbook presents the principles of virology in a clear and concise manner. Among the topics explored are the structure of virus particles and genome, replication, gene expression, infection, pathogenesis and subviral agents. The self-assessment questions, glossary and abbreviations section provide excellent revision aids and serve as handy references to students, teachers, and researchers alike.  
 
An exciting addition to the Third Edition is a CD-ROM containing material to complement and further enhance the text. The CD includes interactive tutorials, virtual experiments, self-assessment questions, numerical exercises, links to many useful online resources, along with the Appendix section of the book, including a Glossary, Abbreviations and Pronunciation Guide, Classification of Sub-Cellular Infectious Agents and a History of Virology.  
 
For adopters an enhanced CD-Rom is available including supplementary teaching tools.  

 
Reviews
 
Praise for the Second Edition  
"An excellent virological text for students. It is recommended in many university undergraduate courses for good reason. It is written in an accessible style...well illustrated...I suspect the self-assessment questions will be usefully plundered by those setting examinations. I have no doubt there will be a third edition." - Trends in Genetics  
 
"More suitable for an undergraduate class than any other text I have recently seen...Readable and undergraduate friendly, and it fills a definite niche." - American Society for Microbiology News  
 
"Compact...and realistically priced...Present[s] molecular virology to an undergraduate audience in an easily digestible form." Trends in Microbiology  
 
"Excellent ... The writing flows easily with good practical examples...An attractive, up-to-date book and is an excellent buy that I can strongly recommend."  
-- Society For General Microbiology Quarterly  
 
"There is a remarkable amount of detail included for so small a book. This well-written text provides a very useable introduction to virology."
