"I consider this encyclopedia to be a valuable addition to my own virology library...If clinicians, students, and others need access to this information, they will find it on the shelves of libraries which choose to house this compilation, and I hope that many libraries will make that choice."
--Harley A. Rotbart, University of Colorado School of Medicine.
"The Encyclopedia is user friendly...Frequent subheadings direct the reader to the appropriate material. The many photographs, figures, and tables inhance the text...The Encyclopedia would be a valuable addition to the reference libraries of medical schools, veterinary schools, graduate schools, and hospitals."
