Front Cover; Viruses; Copyright Page; Contents; List of Contributors; Preface; 1 Introduction: A Short History of Virology; C332,652H492,388N98,245O131,196P7,501S2,340; From Filterable Agent to Genetic Parasite; Viruses Have Contributed to Our Understanding of a Gene and How It Works; Viruses Have Allowed Us to Understand How Genes Are Regulated; Viruses Have Contributed to Our Understanding of How Genomes Are Organized; Viruses Have Contributed to Our Understanding of the Mechanisms Underlying RNAi; Viruses That Cause Diseases Represent a Small Fraction of the Viral Community.

Viruses: Molecular Biology, Host Interactions, and Applications to Biotechnology provides an up-to-date introduction to human, animal and plant viruses within the context of recent advances in high-throughput sequencing that have demonstrated that viruses are vastly greater and more diverse than previously recognized. It covers discoveries such as the Mimivirus and its virophage which have stimulated new discussions on the definition of viruses, their place in the current view, and their inherent and derived 'interactomics' as defined by the molecules and the processes by which virus gene products interact with themselves and their host's cellular gene products. Further, the book includes perspectives on basic aspects of virology, including the structure of viruses, the organization of their genomes, and basic strategies in replication and expression, emphasizing the diversity and versatility of viruses, how they cause disease and how their hosts react to such disease, and exploring developments in the field of host-microbe interactions in recent years. The book is likely to appeal, and be useful, to a wide audience that includes students, academics and researchers studying the molecular biology and applications of viruses.
