Virology: Principles and Applications

Virology is the scientific study of viruses, microscopic infectious agents that can cause a wide range of diseases in humans, animals, and plants. Virologists examine the structure, replication, evolution, and interaction of viruses with their host organisms. Understanding virology is essential for developing vaccines, antiviral drugs, and diagnostic methods to prevent and control viral infections. This book examines the principles of virology, including the structure, replication, and transmission of viruses, and their impact on human health and biotechnological applications.
