{"product_id":"viruses-joseph-panno-9780816068555","title":"Viruses: The Origin and Evolution of Deadly Pathogens","description":"Viruses describes the structure, function, and evolution of viruses with an emphasis on their dual role as infectious microorganisms and important members of Earth's biosphere. Coverage includes the origin of viruses, viral structure and behavior, viral taxonomy, and the history of virology. This comprehensive new resource also examines marine virology, the use of viruses in biomedical research, viral diseases, and modern methods for fighting viral infections. Viruses devotes an entire chapter to viral pandemics, a topic that the general public has recently become interested in as health agencies, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), release annual bulletins regarding the threat of possibly deadly viral strains. The final chapter provides background material on cell biology, biotechnology, methods in virology, and other relevant topics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Panno\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0816068550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780816068555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Facts on File\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Joseph Panno","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44761398280447,"sku":"9780816068555","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cdabc13e-319d-4129-b199-8fa5bd3b0bb9.jpg?v=1706681219","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/viruses-joseph-panno-9780816068555","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
