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)

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential reference text for any career virologist., 20 April 2001
By jwtang49@hotmail.com (London, Engand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Virus Taxonomy: Seventh Report of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (Hardcover)
This is a reference text and should be available in every virology department. This text describes the classification of viruses, and is updated every few years to take into account the discovery of any new viruses and changes in taxonomy.

It is surprisingly readable for what would seem to be a dry book on classification. The pictures and electronmicrographs of each virus are very helpful and the text tends to maintain a standard format, which makes the rather tedious subject easier to absorb.

Although it is not a book one would necessarily need to buy, having it at hand is essential for any would-be trainee virologist...

2.0 out of 5 stars areas to be revisited, 12 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Virus Taxonomy: Seventh Report of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (Hardcover)
The book refers to the taxonomy, however there is a lot of information available on the web which is not refered to. Why do the authors do not respect the serious efforts to the virus databases available online and also help in building online virus taxonomy. Attempts have already been made by other groups to address virus taxonomy using the WWW, having virus identification systems. Viral taxonomy can certainly be improved using the web technologies and ICTVdb a virus database which the authors depend upon has severely failed in this attempt.
