Leveraging Viruses for the Treatment of Viral Diseases and Cancer: Improving Host Fitness by Combinations of Virus and Host Genes gives a comprehensive overview on the impact of using naturally or intentionally attenuated viruses - which are apathogenic to people - to control viral diseases and cancer. It examines the potential of exploiting, developing, and using apathogenic viruses as therapeutic tools. Sections cover the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for a post-Infection Plan B to combat SARS-CoV-2 infections as gaps in testing and vaccination create the perfect conditions for a new variant of concern to emerge.More generally, the book also provides specific examples of the use of apathogenic viruses to treat other infectious diseases. It discusses the process of manufacturing viral therapies and how infectious disease treatments can be repurposed to improve other therapies like for cancer. With contribution from an international group of contributors, Leveraging Viruses for the Treatment of Viral Diseases and Cancer is useful references for those engages in study and development of infectious diseases and ways to combat them.

In 2018, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) approved significant changes leading to a comprehensive taxonomic scheme, allowing the global organization of the virus world (also known as virus megataxonomy). Aquaculture Virology, Second Edition updates the current knowledge on aquatic animal viruses so that all virus families (including those with many newly discovered aquatic animal viruses and those with previously unclassified aquatic animal viruses that have been now assigned) are available under one cover, increasing the number of book chapters from 37 in the first edition to 44 chapters in the second edition. The aims, philosophy, target audience, focus, and format of this second edition of Aquaculture Virology remain unchanged. Like the first edition, this book is a systematic and concise resource useful to anyone involved with or looking to move into aquaculture and fisheries. Clinical veterinarians, aquaculture disease practitioners, biologists, farmers, and all those in industry, government, or academia interested in aquatic animal virology will find this book extremely useful.
