Marine Viruses
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities in the ocean, and they are present in virtually all marine environments (e.g., hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, oceanic trenchs, and sub-seafloor sediments). In the last few decades, great advances have been made regarding viral diversities, virus–host interactions, and viral ecology in both culturable marine virus–host systems and natural marine environments. This Topics project aims to act as a platform for publishing original research and reviews exploring marine viruses on multiple levels—from viral diversities, and virus–host interactions to viral ecology. We welcome submissions that include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Isolation and characterization of novel marine viruses
- Study of marine viral diversities using virome or metagenomics
- Virus–host interactions in culturable models or natural marine environments
- Marine viral ecology
- Bioresources from marine viruses (e.g., phage therapy, virus-derived enzymes and molecules)
