Diversity, evolutionary contribution and ecological roles of aquatic viruses
@article{Zhang2018DiversityEC, title={Diversity, evolutionary contribution and ecological roles of aquatic viruses}, author={Qi-ya Zhang and Jian-Fang Gui}, journal={Science China Life Sciences}, year={2018}, volume={61}, pages={1486-1502} }
Aquatic viruses include infected viruses in aquatic animals, plants and microorganisms, and free-floating viruses (virioplankton) in water environments. In the last three decades, a huge number of aquatic viruses, especially diverse free-floating viruses, including cyanophages, phycoviruses, archaea viruses, giant viruses, and even virophages, have been identified by virological experiments and metagenomic analyses. Based on a comprehensive introduction of aquatic virus classification and their…
