Has anyone on the list tried using "Introduction to Modern Virology" by
NJ Dimmock and SJ Primrose (4th ed, 1994) for a course like this?  I own
a copy that I haven't really studied, but I know some one is going to
ask me to teach a course like the one PJ Jardine describes some day, and
I would like to be prepared.
