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 kingdoms, 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.

Boxes highlight important information such as virus definition and taxonomy

Includes profiles of 32 plant viruses that feature extensively in the text
