Fenner and White's Medical Virology, Fifth Edition provides an integrated view of related sciences, from cell biology, to medical epidemiology and human social behavior. The perspective represented by this book, that of medical virology as an infectious disease science, is meant to provide a starting point, an anchor, for those who must relate the subject to clinical practice, public health practice, scholarly research, and other endeavors. The book presents detailed exposition on the properties of viruses, how viruses replicate, and how viruses cause disease. These chapters are then followed by an overview of the principles of diagnosis, epidemiology, and how virus infections can be controlled. The first section concludes with a discussion on emergence and attempts to predict the next major public health challenges. These form a guide for delving into the specific diseases of interest to the reader as described in Part II. This lucid and concise, yet comprehensive, text is admirably suited to the needs of not only advanced students of science and medicine, but also postgraduate students, teachers, and research workers in all areas of virology. - Features updated and expanded coverage of pathogenesis and immunity - Contains the latest laboratory diagnostic methods - Provides insights into clinical features of human viral disease, vaccines, chemotherapy, epidemiology, and control

The study of viruses is known as virology. It focuses on the structure, evolution and behavior of viruses. Studying them is vital, as they cause various infectious diseases like dengue, yellow fever, smallpox, etc. The classification of viruses is done on the basis of the host that they infect, like fungal viruses, bacteriophages, animal viruses, etc. This book attempts to assist those with a goal of delving into the field of virology. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this textbook an invaluable source of knowledge.
