Introduction to General Virology provides a broad overview of the fundamental and applied aspects of virology. The book covers milestones in the development of virology, the general properties of viruses, morphology, genome organization and genetics, replication strategies and taxonomy. The remaining parts cover specific types of viruses, the properties, classification, structural organization, and lifecycle of bacteriophages, select human and animal viruses, plant virology, plant virus classification, nomenclature, disease symptoms, transmission, detection and diagnosis, management and control. This book is an informative, introductory resource for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, professors, or researchers entering virology, microbiology and infectious diseases.

Professor L.P. Awasthi is currently the Dean of the School of Agriculture and Dean of Academics at RNB Global University, Rajasthan, India. He is the former Head of the Department of Plant Pathology at Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology in Faizabad (U.P.) India. Dr. Awasthi has a PhD in Plant Virology from Lucknow University and is a distinguished scientist who has made contributions to the field of both plant pathology and plant virology. He has previously edited a book and written research articles on plant diseases. His area of specialization is virology and his professional experience includes more than 45 years of teaching microbiology, plant pathology, and virology. He has guided 77 M. Sc. (Ag.) and 35 PhD students and is actively involved in planning and organizing activities for the university pertaining to teaching and research. Professor Hirday Narain Verma is Vice Chancellor, Jaipur National University, Jaipur, India. Dr. Verma received his PhD in Botany specializing in plant virology from Lucknow University researching the management and control of plant virus diseases and was the recipient of Birbal Sahni Memorial Gold Medal for securing first position. Prof. Verma has been Pro-Vice Chancellor, Dean, Faculty of Science Head of the Botany Department and Coordinator of the Special Assistance Programme in UGC at the University of Lucknow as well as a Visiting Scientist at the International Centre for Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology in New Delhi. He is a well-known virologist and has authored a textbook entitled “Basics in Virology “ and published more than 200 research papers in journals of international repute from countries like the USA, Canada, Germany, UK, Switzerland, and India.
