The foundational textbook on the study of virology
Basic Virology, 4th Edition cements this series' position as the leading introductory virology textbook in the world. It's easily read style, outstanding figures, and comprehensive coverage of fundamental topics in virology all account for its immense popularity.
This undergraduate-accessible book covers all the foundational topics in virology, including:
The basics of virology
Virological techniques
Molecular biology
Pathogenesis of human viral disease
The 4th edition includes new information on the SARS, MERS and COVID-19 coronaviruses, hepatitis C virus, influenza virus, as well as HIV and Ebola. New virological techniques including bioinformatics and advances in viral therapies for human disease are also explored in-depth. The book also includes entirely new sections on metapneumoviruses, dengue virus, and the chikungunya virus.

[CTOC] THE DYNAMICS OF HUMAN-VIRUS INTERACTIONS
The stable association of viruses with their natural host places specific constraints on the nature of viral disease and mode of persistence
Classification of human disease-causing viruses according to virus-host dynamics
Viral diseases leading to persistence of the virus in the host are generally associated with viruses having long associations with human populations
Viral diseases associated with acute, severe infection are suggestive of zoonoses
