Description of Fenner and White’s Medical Virology
Enormous strides have taken place since the fourth edition of this book in regard to our understanding of virus properties and how viral diseases can be controlled, treated, and prevented. Considerable advances have been made across the whole spectrum of virology, particularly in relation to virus structure and replication, “point-of-care” diagnostics and the wide use of antiviral therapies. This progress has done much to contribute to a substantial improvement in public health across the globe.
At the same time, we have seen the emergence of new viral agents, and older agents in new guises, sometimes creating a need for radically new concepts to guide our understanding and clinical and public health actions. Notable examples include HIV/AIDS; SARS and its recently appearing relative MERS; Hendra and Nipah viral diseases; the more recent epidemic manifestations of Ebola; the appearance in humans of novel influenza A viruses; and the ever-increasing range of manifestations of “older” viruses in immunosuppressed individuals.
Paradoxically, other aspects of virology, for example, the clinical descriptions of common infections and the principles of management, remain as valid as when they were first made. Our challenge is to transmit hard-learned experiences, within the context of new advances, to an ever-widening audience of newcomers entering the medical, scientific, and related professions.
