"Viruses and the Evolution of Life" is an intriguing presentation of the virus-host relationship, as revealed through an examination of host evolution. This new volume avails the informed reader of a new perspective on the evolution of life while targeting the expert reader with discussions of sp...
The majority of small DNA viruses (adenoviruses, papillo﹎aviruses, polyomaviruses, and TT viruses) have persistent life strategies, are host specific, and are phylogenetically congruent with the evolution of their hosts. The epidemiological concept of a reservoir species has been used for many ...
When a temperate phage infects a bacterial cell and integrates its genome with the cell’s DNA, it typically lays dormant until it’s triggered to burst out of the cell. But once the phage’s DNA is part of the bacterium’s, mutations can disrupt the phage’s...
their queen, and subordinate meerkats babysit the offspring of the dominant individuals in their group1,2,3. We term these kinds of acts or traits cooperative because their evolution is influenced by the benefit they provide to other individuals, not just to the individual that performs the act...

Viruses are unimaginably varied and ubiquitous. And it is becoming clear just how much they have shaped the evolution of all organisms since the very beginnings of life. In this, they demonstrate the blind, pitiless power of natural selection at its most dramatic. And—for one group of brain...
The construction of artificial life processes that seek to contribute to the development of therapeutic vaccines to treat human cancers, which have their origin in infectious processes caused by viruses, requires research on three fronts. On the one hand
