This third edition of the Encyclopedia of Virology is being published nine years after the second edition, a period which has seen enormous growth both in our understanding of virology and in our recognition of the viruses themselves, many of which were unknown when the second edition was prepared. Considering viruses affecting human hosts alone, the worldwide epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), caused by a previously unknown coronavirus, led to the discovery of other human coronaviruses such as HKU1 and NL63. As many as seven chapters are devoted to the AIDS epidemic and to human immunodeficiency viruses.
