| Abstract

The authors' intent is not to turn their readers into virologists but rather to provide them with enough knowledge of the nature of viruses and virus infections to serve as an essential background for later involvement with the subject. The new edition has been extensively updated, with many new diagrams included. New material has been added on: DT Plant and bacterial viruses DT Coronaviruses, focusing on SARS DT Monkeypox infections in humans and the possible use of smallpox as a biological weapon DT Latest advances on chemotherapy of herpesviruses DT Updated material on Prion diseases, focusing on new variant CJD. DT New material on the debate between MMR versus single vaccine.
