  The latest edition of this best-selling textbook continues to provide a unique cross-sectional study of virology. The text emphasises structural and functional principles common to different species of virus rather than attempting a less useful taxonomic analysis. An entirely new chapter on HIV and AIDS has been added, providing a valuable vertical profile of an extremely important viral infection. The coverage of all aspects of immunology has been fully updated to take account of recent advances, especially in the T-cell area and in their relation to viral pathogenesis.
