This book was written during a period when the technologies of
genetic engineering were being applied to the study of animal
viruses and when the organization and function of individual virus
genes were being elucidated. This book, which uses human and animal
viruses as models, aims to under stand the developments in
molecular virology during the last 20 years. Al though molecular
virology could also be taught by means of bacteriophages or plant
viruses, the advantage of using animal viruses is in their ability
to cause human and animal diseases as well as to transform cells, a
primary problem in medicine. For the sake of clarity and
convenience, not all the individual contributors to the various
aspects of molecular virology were cited in the text. Instead, the
reader is referred to review articles or key papers that list the
numerous excel lent publications that have contributed to
clarification of the various molecular processes. Thus the
end-of-chapter bibliographies will guide the reader to the
publications in which the original contributing authors are quoted.
References given under the heading Recommended Reading are intended
to assist those interested in pursuing a given subject further. I
hope that this book will fulfill the purpose for which it is
designed, and I urge readers to contact me if errors are found or
updating is required."
