Viral Cytopathology Cellular Macromolecular Synthesis and Cytocidal Viruses Including a Cumulative Index to the Authors and Major Topics Covered in Volumes 1–19

Viral Cytopathology Cellular Macromolecular Synthesis and Cytocidal Viruses Including a Cumulative Index to the Authors and Major Topics Covered in Volumes 1–19 / edited by Heinz Fraenkel-Conrat, Robert R. Wagner.

The time seems ripe for a critical compendium of that segment of the biological universe we call viruses. Virology, as a science, having passed only recently through its descriptive phase of naming and numbering, has probably reached that stage at which relatively few new-truly new-viruses will be d...
