Virology is a field
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 :
Introduction to Virology, Baltimore system of classification, Viruses as Human
Pathogen, RNA viruses, Polyomaviruses, Herpesviruses, Epstein - Barr virus,
Hepadnaviruses: HBV and HDV, Hepatoviruses, Picornaviruses, Flavivirus, Human
Immune Deficiency Virus (HIV), Family Reoviridae, Orthomyxoviruses, Clinical
Course of Rabies, etc.
