Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This book probably includes just about anything one might want to know about papillomaviruses. ... The book is written for individuals in the fields of immunology, infectious disease, virology, microbiology, cell biology, and cancer biology and research whether they are scientists, clinicians, or students. ... All color figures are grouped together in the center of the book and each chapter is well referenced. ... It would be a fine edition to a library collection." (Marion C. Cohen, Doody's Review Service, June, 2008)
