Viruses are the last frontier of undiscovered life on our planet. The most
abundant type of organism on Earth, they infect all types of cellular
life, and, as micro-organisms that cause disease in their hosts, they are
highly opportunistic and relentlessly efficient. They exist at the
vanguard of DNA variance, exhibiting more structural diversity than
plants, animals, archaea, or even bacteria. This 21st-century guide offers
an engaging introductory section explaining exactly what viruses are and
how they operate, followed by individual profiles of 101 of the world€™s
most notable examples, each with its own dazzling mugshot.
Dr. Marilyn Roossinck (Pennsylvania, USA) is Professor of Plant Pathology and Environmental Microbiology at the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics at Penn State University, and the Sir Walter Adjunct Professor at Murdoch University in Perth, Australia.
