Description

The Bunyaviridae represent an extremely diverse family of viruses which until recently were relatively poorly understood, and which are increasingly important in both medicine and biology. This book attempts to treat all aspects of their biology, including their natural history, genetics, virion structure and their unusual pathway of intracellular assembly, the gene structure and mechanisms of its expressions, antigenicity and pathogenesis in a single volume. As such, it fills a void in the virology literature. Also, this volume is timely, as the molecular description of this family is now almost complete.
