"The book is addressed to medical students as well as clinical scientists and students of molecular biology. In a rapidly growing field it is a great advantage to have all this valuable information in one volume." (Journal Tropical Ped, 2012) "I would recommend this book to all interested in the role that viruses play in cancer development, students and experienced researchers alike." (Society for General Microbiology, July 2010)
