within microbiology that encompasses the study of viruses. Medical virology
deals with the study of medically important viruses and the diseases they cause
or their effect on human beings.The notes contains contents as follows :

Adenoviruses are a group of common viruses that infect the lining of
your eyes, airways and lungs, intestines, urinary tract, and nervous system. In
this book, the authors highlight the achievements in the study of animal and
human adenoviruses, chemotherapy of adenovirus infections, and the development
in adenoviral vector-based vaccines and gene therapy. This book will be useful
not only for researchers but also in solving specific medical problems.
