Beskrivning

The studies presented in this volume provide information on the two aspects of virus evolution: the ancient evolution of viruses from the time prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells evolved, and the ongoing process of the current molecular evolution of viruses. Studies from a number of scientists are collected to provide insight into the molecular evolution of viruses as one of nature's mysteries.
