Acknowledgments

Even the most basic text cannot be solely the work of its author or authors; this is especially true for this one. We are extremely grateful to a large number of colleagues, students, and friends. They provided critical reading, essential information, experimental data, and figures, as well as other important help for all four of the editions of Basic Virology. This group includes the following scholars from other research centers: Wah Chiu, Stanford University; J. Brown, University of Virginia; J. B. Flannegan and R. Condit, University of Florida; J. Conway, National Institutes of Health; K. Fish and J. Nelson, Oregon Health Sciences University; D. W. Gibson, Johns Hopkins University; P. Ghazal, University of Edinburgh; H. Granzow, Friedrich‐Loeffler‐Institut, Insel Riems; C. Grose, University of Iowa; J. Hill, Louisiana State University Eye Center–New Orleans; S. Karst, University of Florida; J. Langland, Arizona State University; D. Leib, Dartmouth College; F. Murphy, University of California, Davis; S. Rabkin, Harvard University; S. Rice, University of Alberta–Edmonton; S. Silverstein, Columbia University; B. Sugden, University of Wisconsin; Gail Wertz, University of Alabama–Birmingham; and J. G. Stevens, University of California, Los Angeles. Colleagues at the University of California, Irvine who provided aid include R. Davis, S. Larson, A. McPherson, T. Osborne, R. Sandri‐Goldin, D. Senear, B. Semler, S. Stewart, W. E. Robinson, I. Ruf, and L. Villarreal. Both current and former workers in Edward Wagner’s laboratory did many experiments that aided in a number of illustrations; these people include J. S. Aguilar, K. Anderson, R. Costa, G. B. Devi‐Rao, R. Frink, S. Goodart, J. Guzowski, L. E. Holland, P. Lieu, N. Pande, M. Petroski, M. Rice, J. Singh, J. Stringer, and Y.‐F. Zhang. Colleagues of David Camerini that did experiments and helped make figures used in the fourth edition are Joseph J. Campo, Shailesh K. Choudhary, Arlo Randall, and Robert M. Scoggins.

We were aided in the writing of the second edition by comments from Robert Nevins (Milsap College), Sofie Foley (Napier University), David Glick (King’s College), and David Fulford (Edinboro University of Pennsylvania).

We want to remember the many people who contributed to the physical process of putting the first edition of this book together. R. Spaete of the Aviron Corp carefully read every page of the manuscript and suggested many important minor and a couple of major changes. This was done purely in the spirit of friendship and collegiality. K. Christensen used her considerable expertise and incredible skill in working with us to generate the art. Not only did she do the drawings, but also she researched many of them to help provide missing details. Two undergraduates were invaluable to us. A. Azarian at University of California, Irvine made many useful suggestions on reading the manuscript from a student’s perspective, and D. Natan, an MIT student who spent a summer in Edward Wagner’s laboratory, did most of the Internet site searching, which was a great relief and time saver. Finally, J. Wagner carried out the very difficult task of copyediting the manuscript.

From the beginning, a number of people at Blackwell Science represented by Publisher N. Hill‐Whilton demonstrated a commitment to a quality product. We especially thank Nathan Brown, Cee Brandson, and Rosie Hayden, who made great efforts to maintain effective communications and to expedite many of the very tedious aspects of this project. Blackwell Science directly contacted a number of virologists who also read and suggested useful modifications to this manuscript: Michael R. Roner, University of Texas, Arlington; Lloyd Turtinen, University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire; and Paul Wanda, Southern Illinois University.

All of these colleagues and friends represent the background of assistance we have received, leading to the preparation of this fourth edition. We would especially like to acknowledge Dr. Luis Villarreal and the Center for Virus Research at the University of California, Irvine for supporting our efforts in bringing this book to a timely completion.
