چکیده
In this multi-author work, Mettenleiter and Sobrino have compiled 10 chapters that describe what is currently known about the molecular biology of some of the most interesting viruses of veterinary importance, from the tiny circovirus of pigs (1,800 nt of single-stranded DNA) to the highly complex African swine fever virus (≈200,000 nt pairs of double-stranded DNA). It is fi tting that the fi rst chapter describes foot-and-mouth disease virus, which was the fi rst animal virus to be described by Loeffl er and Frosch, who worked in Griefswald-Insel Riems, where Mettenleiter is currently the president of the FriedrichLoeffl er Institut. All 10 chapters are written by experts in their respective fi elds. Mettenleiter is a coauthor for a chapter about herpesviruses, whereas Sobrino is a coauthor for one on footand-mouth disease virus. Polly Roy wrote a chapter about bluetongue virus, one of the major threats to the livestock industry worldwide, which recently emerged in Europe, perhaps because global warming has allowed the Culicoides vector to survive and overwinter. Another chapter is about Hendra and Nipah viruses, which are newly emerging in Southeast Asia and Australia. There are also informative chapters on arteriviruses, coronaviruses, and pestiviruses. Finally, in 1 chapter, Hans-Dieter Klenk and colleagues write about viruses of birds, including avian infl uenza. They discuss the molecular mechanism of pathogenesis and host range for the virus everyone fears may give rise to the next infl uenza pandemic. The book would have been improved by including a chapter on paramyxoviruses, of which rinderpest virus of cattle and Newcastle disease virus of birds are 2 important examples. But, overall, this compilation is excellent and is rounded off by a scholarly and provocative epilogue about animal virology by Esteban Domingo and Marian C. Horzinek. It is almost worth buying the book for these 10 pages alone.

In the 9 years of its existence this wonderfully complete little book has come into its 3rd edition and its 9th reprint. Nine editions in 9 years is surely a hallmark of success, and the present edition will be found to have incorporated in its -110 pages, most of the advances in surgery since the last edition was written. It is a marvellously compact "tabloid" surgery and should be very useful...

We are often judged and evaluated by our control of i...
