Angus Dalgleish is a professor of Oncology at the Institute of Cancer Research in London, UK Robin Weiss is a professor of Viral Oncology at University College London Medical School. Previously he was at the Institute of Cancer Research in London, UK He is an authority on retroviruses infecting humans and animals, and has a special interest in cell surface receptors for viruses.

"...provides up-to-date reviews on these important issues on HIV research that have emerged during the last 10 years." --Phalguni Gupta, University of Pittsburgh, in ASM NEWS, 2000"This is a comprehensive and up-to-date volume that reviews our current knowledge of HIV and other recently identified viruses of humans. ...I found the chapters to be detailed and well written with a healthy supply of illustrations to aid understanding." --MICROBIOLOGY TODAY, 1999"I highly recommend this volume to clinicians and virologists... It will be rewarding." --INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGYPRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION:"...Each chapter presents a clear, authoritative and up-to-date account of the subject..." --IMMUNOLOGY"... Well written and illustrated... An excellent series of reviews... Should be of interest to virologists, immunologists and clinicians at all levels." --AIDS CARE, Clive Loveday, University College and Middelsex School of Medicine, London
