Books in Microbiology and virology

Elsevier's Microbiology & Virology collection provides comprehensive coverage of viruses and microorganisms, addressing their impact on human, animal, and plant health. It includes topics such as prevention, treatment, and research of viral diseases like coronaviruses, flaviviruses, and viral hemorrhagic fevers. The collection delves into fields like Bacteriology, Mycology, and Microbial genetics, focusing on their roles in environmental, agricultural, and health-related contexts. This resource serves as a vital tool for scientists, facilitating the study of viruses and microorganisms and enabling the development of effective strategies for infectious disease prevention, diagnosis, and control.

  • Mathematical Models for Neglected Tropical Diseases: Essential Tools for Control and Elimination, Part A

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 87
    • English
    First published in 1963, Advances in Parasitology contains comprehensive and up-to-date reviews in all areas of interest in contemporary parasitology.
