An Introduction to General Virology
An Introduction to General Virology provides information pertinent to all aspects of virology. This book discusses the viruses affecting plants and insects. Organized into 25 chapters, this book begins with an overview of prevention of disease that can be effected by the immunization of susceptible hosts to produce circulating antibodies that neutralize viral infectivity. This text then discusses the general properties of the viruses. Other chapters consider the methods of preparing tissue cultures and explain the methods used for titrations of serum antibodies and serological identification of viruses. This book discusses as well the spread of diseases, the various invasion routes of the body, and the multitude of viruses which cause respiratory symptoms and which cannot easily be conquered. The final chapter deals with the types of vaccine in use. This book is a valuable resource for undergraduates in Medicine and Science and for postgraduates in the class of Public Health.
