This second edition of Studies in Viral Ecology is designed to
serve as a means of updating the knowledge of virologists regarding
the broader aspects of viral ecology. As with the first edition,
this book explains the ecology of viruses by examining their
interactive dynamics with their hosting species (covering both
animals 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 non-virologists or virologists
whose previous familiarity has been very specialized.This second

Studies in Viral Ecology explores the intricate interactions
between viruses and other organisms from a "virocentric"
perspective. Divided into five sections, the book opens with a
thorough introduction to the ecology of all viruses, followed by
detailed examinations that individually consider the viruses of
other microorganisms, viruses of vascular plants, and viruses of
vertebrate and invertebrate animals. The chapters have been written
by leading scientists in their respective research fields and cover
topics such as the evolution of fungal viruses, viruses affecting
insects, viruses of terrestrial and marine mammals, and the
relationship between humans, their viruses, and prions. Studies in
Viral Ecology, Second Edition remains required reading for
virologists and virology instructors and students who study the
interactions between virus and host at the individual species and
higher taxonomic levels.
