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- Provides key insights into recent technological advances, including high-throughput sequencing- Presents viruses not only as formidable foes, but also as entities that can be beneficial to their hosts and humankind that are helping to shape the tree of life- Features exposition on the diversity and versatility of viruses, how they cause disease, and an exploration of virus-host interactions

Viruses: Molecular Biology, Host Interactions, and Applications to Biotechnology, Second Edition provides an update on recent developments and perspectives, including coverage on the history of viruses, their structure, the organization of their genomes, and strategies in replication and expression. It emphasizes their diversity and versatility, how they cause disease, and how their human, animal, and plant hosts react. Sections also explore the beneficial aspects of viruses and how they can be utilized as tools and targets for biotechnological applications. This edition will appeal to a wide audience, including academics, researchers, and students studying the molecular biology and applications of viruses.Advances in technologies and enhanced surveillance have facilitated the monitoring of virus evolution, transmission dynamics, and pathogenesis. Coupled with the experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have a better understanding of the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health and the impact viruses have on society and the economy. This new release updates on many critical aspects of viruses and recent research.Provides a comprehensive overview of the current taxonomy of virusesCovers the diversity of viruses and related entities (such as viroids and mavericks) and delves into their evolutionary history, structure, and genome organizationExamines the range of viral hosts and mechanisms of virus transmissionExplores the spectrum of virus-host interactions, from beneficial mutualistic relationships to pathogenic interactions that cause diseaseReviews the potential application of viruses in biotechnology, including therapeutics, nanotechnology, and antiviral strategiesIncludes new chapters on the characterization of SARS-CoV-2, and highlights lessons learned from the global response, including the rapid development of mRNA-based vaccines
