Virus Life In Diagram

From the Publisher

This atlas presents 233 virus diagrams selected for their scientific content, clarity, originality, and historic, didactic, and aesthetic value. Virus Life in Diagrams assembles the many diagrams of viral life cycles, particle assembly, and strategies of nucleic acid replication that are scattered throughout the literature. The diagrams cover vertebrate, invertebrate, plant, bacterial, fungal, and protozoal viruses, viroids, and prions. They offer a dynamic illustration of the time course of viral life cycles not available in photographs. They also offer speculative elements that project the possible results of future research, as well as historical documentation that shows the development of virology. This valuable reference book for virologists, microbiologists, molecular biologists, geneticists, and students in these areas is the first atlas to compile illustrations of viral morphogenesis in one complete source.

Virus Life Diagrams is an updated version of the 1995 text, "Atlas of Virus Diagrams." Like its predecessor, Virus Life Diagrams is packed with 233 different black and white illustrations of virus assembly, replication, transmission and other life cycle mechanisms. The diagrams, taken from the English, French, and German literature, include vertibrae, invertebrate, plant, bacterial, fungal and protozoal viruses, viroids and prions.

From AIDS to yellow fever, this family album of 233 diagrams of viruses (selected from the English, French, and German literature) offers a unique pictorial portrayal of their life cycles. In this sequel to the (1995), Ackermann (microbiology; Medical School of Laval U., Quebec) and his colleagues offer commentary on virus classification, morphogenesis, and replication. Viruses are categorized by the nature of their nucleic acids and replication strategies (DNA, RNA, etc.); families are then listed alphabetically in each section.
