Virologist and author Professor Van Wilson imparts knowledge about what viruses are, how they work, and how much they impact life on Earth. The book equips the reader with the scientific basics behind virus function and presents the historic milestones of virus research and discovery. Well-known viruses such as HIV or Influenza are tackled alongside novel pathogens like coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Professor Wilson explores where they come from and how they impact our society. Last but not least the book provides exciting insights into how our immune system reacts to different viruses and how vaccines contribute to conquer pandemics. While scientifically informative, this book makes the field of virology understandable to a lay audience and encourages readers to further thinking. And more importantly, it conveys the wonder, beauty, and mystery of these ubiquitous, microscopic marvels. This book addresses anyone interested in understanding the principles of virology, viral diseases, or the impact of viruses on human societies. 001444840 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 15, 2022). 001444840 650_0 $$aViruses. 001444840 650_6 $$aVirus. 001444840 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001444840 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWilson, Van G.$$tViruses : intimate invaders.$$dCham, Switzerland : Palgrave Macmillan, [2022]$$z3030854868$$z9783030854867$$w(OCoLC)1261362921 001444840 852__ $$bebk 001444840 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-85487-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001444840 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1444840$$pGLOBAL_SET 001444840 980__ $$aBIB 001444840 980__ $$aEBOOK 001444840 982__ $$aEbook 001444840 983__ $$aOnline 001444840 994__ $$a92$$bISE
