Based on the highly successful reference work Viral Pathogenesis published in 1997,
this concise, economical version can be used both as an introductory text or for
self-education by medical students and biologists alike. This latest edition provides
a completely revised overview of the subject with new chapters on innate immunity,
emerging viral diseases, and antiviral therapy in a format that is easy to understand
without continually referring to additional information. Used by the author in his
graduate classes at the University of Pennsylvania, it sets forth the essential
principles and discusses the details of how the immune system responds to viral
invasion including the treatment and prevention of infection. Illustrated by pertinent
examples, it is one of the only books devoted exclusively to this topic.

* Offers almost a 20% expansion over the first edition
* Focuses specifically on viral pathogenesis unlike other texts where only a few
chapters are devoted to the topic
* Designed to provide an introductory overview of viral pathogenesis in a format
which will be easy for the reader to absorb without recourse to additional information.

Neal Nathanson is one of the primary authorities in the field and has authored chapters
on viral pathogenesis in two of the most well known virology and microbiology titles,
Field's Virology and Topley and Wilson's Microbiology.
