Advances in Virus Research [Book Review]

This new periodical review of progress in virus research will be welcomed, not only by the hundreds of persons who actively investigate the viruses of animals, bacteria, and higher plants, but also by the much larger group of onlookers to whom virology is a branch of the biological, medical, and agricultural sciences that is developing at such a remarkable pace that any summary of its present state is likely to be outdated before it can leave the press. Critical reviews of progress in virology are particularly needed because its literature is so widely scattered in the journals of medicine, veterinary science, entomology, plant pathology, chemistry, biochemistry, bacteriology, and genetics that it is out of the question for any one individual to keep up with all of it.
