First edition of the first notice of coronaviruses in the scientific press, in the complete volume of Nature.

June Almeida (1930-2007) was 'an internationally renowned virologist whose skills in electron microscopy enabled her not only to identify viruses whose fine structure had hitherto been unknown but also to shed light on the pathogenesis of viral infections, and to pioneer and improve methods for viral diagnosis'. In addition to the identification of coronavirus, she made groundbreaking contributions to the study of rubella, hepatitis, norovirus, SARS, the common cold, and HIV, and even today, 'most virology review articles and textbooks contain her electron micrographs of viruses' (British Medical Journal obituary, June 28, 2008).

Full volume in library binding; tall 4to; illustrations throughout the text, contents clean; green half cloth, marbled sides, titles to spine gilt, cream endpapers, binding lightly rubbed, excellent condition.
