Principles of Molecular Virology

Principles of Molecular Virology, 6th Edition, provides an accessible introduction to the fundamental concepts of modern virology. Written by Alan J. Cann, the textbook explains the basic principles of viral systems in a clear and concise format.

The text examines foundational subjects such as virus particle and genome structure, replication cycles, gene expression, infection processes, and pathogenesis. It also addresses subviral agents alongside emergent viruses, including MERS and Ebola.

Designed for students and professors across virology, microbiology, and molecular biology, this volume also serves as an entry point for researchers moving into infectious disease, virology, and immunology.
