The book emphasizes the emergence and reemergence of human viral diseases, the need for a global early warning system of surveillance, and the importance of continued research to develop preventative measures. Initial chapters provide a valuable perspective on the historical development of virology. The book presents the first account of the joint US-Russian effort to sequence smallpox virus DNA.
