Occasions, such as the recent appearance of the Encyclopedia of Virology, provide an opportunity to reconsider the discipline's roots and to critically reexamine the past. In plant pathology, Mayer [20], Ivanovsky [9] and Beijerinck [ 1] have, for their classical investigations on tobacco mosaic published between 1886 and 1898, for long been considered to have set the stage for virology as a new discipline, and to have done so together [12]. However, a minireview on "One Hundred Years of…
