DESCRIPTION:
Alan Cann has worked in both the U.K. and U.S.A., and in addition to teaching undergraduate, postgraduate, and medical students, he runs a research laboratory studying themolecular biology and pathogenesis of RNA viruses.
It is written in an accessible style well illustrated I suspect the self-assessment questions will be usefully plundered by those setting examinations. It would be a worthwhile addition to the library of teachers of undergraduate virology."--Jerry L. It is recommmended in many university undergraduate courses for good reason. Taylor, Medical College of Wisconsin, DOODY'S REVIEW . Elstner, in ZEIT FUR PFLANZENKRANKHEITEN UND PFLANZENSCHUTZ"There is a remarkable amount of detail included for so small a book. I have no doubt there will be a third edition."--TRENDS IN GENETICS"More suitable for an undergraduate class than any other text I have recently seen Readable and undergraduate friendly, and it fills a definite niche."--AMERICAN
Excellent summary of the field; easy to read A Customer I'm not a biologist, but having developed an interest in virology, I searched for a book that would explain the basic principles in an understandable manner without too much jargon and too detailed illustrations or explanations (or too high a cost!). This book provid. "Virology in an understandable manner" according to Nicolas Melgarejo. Well, let's see, molecular virology is definitely a hard-to understand science. Fortunately, for begginers like me, A.J Cann wrote this book. I think it is an awesome one, but it has its drawbacks.Pros: Easy to read ( i mean, critical concepts, especially genetics, c. Finally an understandable book on virology! As a neuroscience student, I took a class on virology that I wasn't required to take. However, since I was working on AIDS and rabies, I decided I needed the background. Between the bad teaching and the horrible textbook, I ended up taking an audit in the class and c
Focusing on a molecular approach, this text presents the principles of virology in a clear and concise manner that gives students of biology or medicine a broad, comprehensive understanding of the subject. The summaries and new self-assessment questions at the end of each chapter provide excellent revision aids. Principles of Molecular Virology, Second Edition, provides an essential introduction to modern virology.
