Rhabdovirus is single stranded, negative sense RNA virus inheriting six genera that infect a wide variety of animals such as cattle, fish, horse, bovine, etc. Invertebrates such as honey bees are infected by deformed wing virus. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of veterinary virology. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies and advanced studies on veterinary virology have been included herein. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by the content of this book.
