The Bunyaviridae represent an extremely diverse family of viruses,whichuntilrecentlywererelativelypoorlyunderstood. These viruses have become increasingly important in both human and veterinary medicine, and, most recently, bunyaviruses have been recognized as plant pathogens as well. This book attemptsto treat all aspectsof their biology, including their natural history, genetics, virion structure, unusual pathway of intracellular assembly, gene structure and the mechanisms of its expression, antigenicity, and pathogenesis, inasinglevolume. Assuch,itfillsavoid inthe virologyliterature.Thisvolumeisalsotimely,asthemolecular descriptionofthisfamilyisnowalmostcomplete.

There has been no literature up to now treating the Bunyaviridae in general as a family. The book demonstrates how they are maintained in nature and how they replicate and sometimes cause disease.
