More Description

With more than 1,000 citations, numerous illustrations, tables, and micrographs, this reference focuses on the developments in and experimental approaches to the study of fungi and simple eukaryotic viruses. Emphasizing molecular biology and genetics, the book provides the first comprehensive description of lower eukaryotic viruses. It discusses both retrovirus and reovirus systems in simple eukaryotes and examines how simple eukaryotes can serve as important models for research in eukaryotic molecular and cell biology. The book also covers RNA and DNA viruses, possible applications of fungi and simple eukaryotes to biotechnological, agricultural, and medicinal products, and the significance of lower eukaryotic viruses to biological control.
