Description
Summary:Viruses are pathogens of many diseases of men, animals, and plants, but theyare also of interest as molecular genetic models for the solution of biological problems. "A History of Experimental Virology" provides a survey on the most important knowledge on viruses achieved since their discovery one hundred years ago. It describes the way from the viruses simply defined as pathogenic poison (virus, lat. = poison) to the characterization of today based on findings obtained through modern techniques of molecular biology.
