Ecology of Viruses (Virus Ecology) (3) In this course students will learn about the interplay of viruses, hosts and the environment. All known life forms are hosts to viruses; viruses are the most abundant life entity on our planet, and the most understudied and unknown. Although most of virology has been devoted to the study of those that cause disease, viruses also can be beneficial to their hosts, and a majority of viruses probably do not cause disease. Viruses play an important role in the ecology of the planet, including carbon cycles, host adaptation to extreme environments, host health or disease, and host evolution. We will use specific examples to understand basic principles of virus ecology and we will explore viruses of plants, animals, fungi and other microbial eukaryotes, bacteria and archeae. Students also will learn to critically read the scientific literature, and will present a paper to the class.
