Advanced Principles of Virology - Bog

Viruses are submicroscopic parasitic particles. They can infect all organisms, from bacteria and archaea to plants and animals, and cause a variety of diseases. The scientific study of viruses, their structure, classification and evolution is known as virology. The studies of the processes of infection and the resultant viral diseases are also a focus of this science. Research in virology has significant applications in medicine, neuroscience, materials science and nanotechnology. This book strives to provide detailed information about the theories and concepts of virology to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to this field have been included in this book.
