Summary:

Nidoviruses is the first volume to cover the entire nidovirus order, including arteriviruses, toroviruses, roniviruses, and several recently identified human coronaviruses. Nidoviruses synthesizes the most recent research on the basic microbiology of nidoviruses, their genetic replication, and immune system responses.
