Product Description
Review
"...it represents an absolute necessity for those dealing with new, so far undiscovered viruses and attempting to classify them within the exsisting taxonomic system." - ACTA VIROLOGICA (2005) "...will be of interest to almost anyone who researches any aspect of virology, uses viruses as tools or, indeed sufferse from virus infection, in order to view their particular virus in the larger context. ...I am confident that my new copy of the Eighth Edition will one day become as dog-eared with frequent use by myself and colleagues as my old Sixth Edition mst certainly has become." - Hugh J. Filed for ANTIVIRAL CHEMISTRY AND CHEMOTHERAPY (2005)

This is the standard and definitive reference for virus taxonomy, generated by the ICTV approximately every 3 years. The VIII ICTV "Virus Taxonomy" Report provides information on 3 orders of viruses, 73 families, 9 subfamilies, 287 genera and 1938 virus species, illustrated by more than 429 pictures and diagrams, most of them in color. It is the standard official ITCV reference for virus taxonomy and nomenclature, compiling data from 500 international experts. It covers over 6000 recognized viruses, organized by family with diagrams of genome organization and virus replication cycle. It provides data on the phylogenic relationships between viruses belonging to the same or different taxanomy and now includes information about the qualitative and quantitative relationships between virus sequences.
