Summary

Viruses continue to fascinate and frighten us, because of their pathogenic impact on plants and animals. In the seas and oceans, they are major players in the functioning of ecosystems. Viruses are the smallest, most abundant and most diverse biological entity known to date in marine environment, where they perform multiple functions. Besides their role in cell mortality and the redistribution of matter, viruses are also a powerful vector of evolution of their hosts and represent a major source of genetic diversity, providing an abundance of discoveries for basic and applied research.

This book aims to highlight an invisible biological community that is essential for understanding and explaining the functioning of the oceans. The authors, experts in the ecology and evolution of aquatic viruses, show how viruses regulate microbial ecosystems at the base of ocean food chains, and how their action could, if necessary, have an impact on climate.

This book is intended for life and environmental science students, teachers, researchers and academics, as well as the general public interested in the subject of viruses and oceans.
