Dr. Susan Payne is an associate professor in the Department of Veterinary Pathobiology at the Texas A&M University, United States. During her career, she has mentored graduate and undergraduate students at three universities and has taught virology to undergraduate, graduate, medical, and veterinary students. Those courses are the basis for this textbook. She has also had an active research career and has written over 40 peer reviewed research and review articles. She serves as an ad hoc reviewer for several virology journals. She currently lives in Caldwell, Texas with her husband, mom, five cats, one dog, nine goats, one donkey, eight chickens (if the dog has not eaten one recently), and eight guinea fowls. She is most easily available in email at .

This book, Viruses: From Understanding to Investigation, was inspired by a long career of teaching and research. My students have included undergraduate, graduate, medical, and veterinary students.

As regards the book title, my intent is to lead students of virology from a basic understanding to an interest in the investigations that have provided the information contained herein. The focus of this textbook is on animal and human viruses, only because these have been the focus of my research and teaching for many years. The viruses of plants, fungi, bacteria, and single-celled organisms are certainly no less interesting.

There is a huge amount of information about viruses available online, in journals, books, websites, and blogs. So why the need for another virology textbook? My intent was to organize and present a thoughtful, understandable, and up-to-date summary of the volumes of information available for consumption elsewhere. While every textbook, including this one, contains many facts, I have tried to emphasize general concepts.

With 38 chapters, this book contains more than enough material for a semester long course in introductory virology. The book is geared toward students with some background in cell biology, microbiology, immunology, and/or biochemistry, and I hope that it will be useful for both undergraduate and beginning graduate students. I also hope that no instructor will try to cover all of the material contained herein during a single semester. The book is organized into two parts, the first nine chapters cover topics including an introduction to viruses (containing information on replication cycle, diversity, taxonomy, and outcomes of virus infection), structure, interactions with the host cell, methods for studying viruses, immunity to viruses, and introductions to viral epidemiology, evolution, and pathogenesis. There are also chapters that serve as introductions to RNA and DNA viruses. I imagine that this will be more than enough information for many instructors and students.
