Fields Virology is an English-language virology textbook, published in two volumes, originally edited by Bernard N. Fields. The first edition in 1985 was called Virology, but the book's title was changed from the second edition to Fields Virology. The book is widely regarded as an influential work on the subject and is cited as the bible of virology by many virologists.[1]
Fields was the senior editor for the first three editions.[2] After his death in 1995, subsequent editions have retained his name in the title. The 6th edition came out in 2013, edited by David M. Knipe and Peter Howley, and published by Wolters Kluwer under the Lippincott Williams & Wilkins imprint.
