The continuous growth of knowledege makes it very difficult for
scientists to retrieve comprehensive and accurate data on viruses.
The desired information is often dispersed in a variety of books,
journals and online resources. This encyclopedia presents the
latest facts about all known virus in a standardized form created
by hundreds of the world's leading virologists.
Virus taxonomy represents the basic framework that allows an
understanding of the complex evolutionary process that continuously
takes place among viruses and their hosts. Each of the 300
taxonomically ordered chapters includes detailed information on
individual genus members, historical events, the hosts they can
affect (animal, man or plant), virion morphology, genome
properties, replication strategy, properties of individual
transcripts and proteins, sequence accession numbers, biological
properties, diseases, recombinant vector constructs, vaccine
strains, key references, as well as a high-resolution particle
image and a drawing of the genome organization. Its high content of
easily accessible detail information makes this Encyclopedia an
indispensable tool for both researchers and lecturers. The new
edition includes the recent discoveries made in this field as well
as new viruses which have been discovered.
