A Planet of Viruses
We are most familiar with the viruses that give us colds or the flu, but viruses also cause a vast range of other diseases, including one disorder that makes people sprout branch-like growths as if they were trees.
Viruses have been a part of our lives for so long, in fact, that we are actually part virus: the human genome contains more DNA from viruses than our own genes.
Meanwhile, scientists are discovering viruses everywhere they look: in the soil, in the ocean, even in caves miles underground.
This fascinating book explores the hidden world of viruses a world that we all inhabit.
Here Carl Zimmer, popular science writer and author of Discover magazine´s award-winning blog The Loom, presents the latest research on how viruses hold sway over our lives and our biosphere, how viruses helped give rise to the first life-forms, how viruses are producing new diseases, how we can harness viruses for our own ends, and how viruses will continue to control our fate for years to come.
In this eye-opening tour of the frontiers of biology, where scientists are expanding our understanding of life as we know it, we learn that some treatments for the common cold do more harm than good; that the world´s oceans are home to an astonishing number of viruses; and that the evolution of HIV is now in overdrive, spawning more mutated strains than we care to imagine.
The New York Times Book Review calls Carl Zimmer as fine a science essayist as we have.
A Planet of Viruses is sure to please his many fans and further enhance his reputation as one of America´s most respected and admired science journalists.

Desk Encyclopedia of Plant and Fungal Virology
This volume consists of 85 chapters that highlight recent advances in our knowledge of the viruses that infect plants and fungi.
It begins with general topics in plant virology including movement of viruses in plants, the transmission of plant viruses by vectors, and the development of virus-resistant transgenic plants.
The second section presents an overview of the properties of a selection of 20 well-studied plant viruses, 23 plant virus genera and a few larger groups of plant viruses.
The third section, which is abundantly illustrated, highlights the most economically important virus diseases of cereals, legumes, vegetable crops, fruit trees and ornamentals.
The last section describes the major groups of viruses that infect fungi.

Viruses are the smallest living things known to science, and yet they hold the entire planet in their sway.
Were most familiar with the viruses that give us colds or the flu, but viruses also cause a vast range of other diseases, including one disorder that makes people sprout branch-like growths as if they were trees.
Viruses have been a part of our lives for so long, in fact, that we are actually part virus: the human genome contains more DNA from viruses than our own genes.
Meanwhile, scientists are discovering viruses everywhere they look: in the soil, in the ocean, even in deep caves miles underground.
This fascinating book explores the hidden world of viruses- a world that each of us inhabit.

Advances in Virus Research
The overall goal of virus research is understand the action of various viruses and develop vaccines or techniques that are effective at preventing or treating the diseases caused by them.
Viruses that affect humans range in severity from the rhinoviruses that cause the common cold to the human immune deficiency (HIV) virus that causes AIDS.
By their very nature, viruses are highly contagious and therefore affect millions of people, plants, and animals.
This field continues to have new discoveries that are important to researchers and clinicians in the field.

Origin and Evolution of Viruses
Viruses adapt to new environments at astounding rates.
Genetic variability of viruses jeopardizes vaccine efficacy.
For many viruses mutants resistant to antiviral agents or host immune responses arise readily, for example, with HIV and influenza.These variations are all of utmost importance for human and animal health as they have prevented us from controlling these epidemic pathogens.
This book focuses on the mechanisms that viruses use to evolve, survive and cause disease in their hosts.
Covering human, animal, plant and bacterial viruses, it provides both the basic foundations for the evolutionary dynamics of viruses and specific examples of emerging diseases explained by the evolutionary flexibility of the viral agents that circulate in a continuously changing earth environment.
* NEW to this edition - chapters on the molecular basis of copying fidelity of viral polymerases, methods to establish phylogenetic relationships among viruses, and the mechanisms of cellular RNA interference and editing functions as they affect virus evolution.
* UNIQUE - combines theoretical concepts in evolution with detailed analyses of the evolution of important virus groups.
* Bacterial, plant, animal and human viruses are compared regarding their interaction with their hosts.

Comparative Plant Virology
Comparative Plant Virology provides a complete overview of our current knowledge of plant viruses including background information on plant viruses and up-to-date aspects of virus biology and control.
It deals mainly with concepts rather than detail.
The focus will be on plant viruses but due to the changing environment of how virology is taught, comparisons will be drawn with viruses of other kingdomes, animals, fungi and bacteria.
It has been written for students of plant virology, plant pathology, virology and microbiology who have no previous knowledge of plant viruses or of virology in general.
