From the appearance of yellow fever up to the present, this book chronicles both the history of virology and the lives of key individuals in its study. Booss (neurology and laboratory medicine, Yale U.) and August (MedImmune Vaccines) consulted with a number of key individuals as well as archives and special libraries in preparing this comprehensive account. Photographs that are mostly of people and viruses are included throughout, and a closing appendix provides dates to significant events in virology.
