Description 1 online resource (360 pages)
Contents Section 1. An introduction to the structure and behavior of viruses -- section 2. Viruses of other microorganisms -- section 3. Viruses of macroscopic plants
Summary Annotation This book explains the ecology of viruses by examining their interactive dynamics with their hosting species (in this volume, in microbes and plants), including the types of transmission cycles that viruses have evolved encompassing principal and alternate hosts, vehicles, and vectoring species. Examining virology from an organismal biology approach and focusing on the concept that viral infections represent areas of overlap in the ecologies of the involved species, Viral Ecology is essential for students and professionals who either may be nonvirologists or virologists whose previous familiarity has been very specialized
