This volume explores the use of viral metagenomics to diagnose known viruses for plant and food
production human and animal health and identifying viral vectors like insects. The chapters
in this book cover topics such as sRNAs isolation from tissues of grapevines and woody plants
high-resolution screening of arthropod and plant viral communities identifying new pathogens
in fish detecting viruses in mycorrhizal fungi and their orchid host and insect virus
discovery through metagenomic and cell culture-based approaches. Written in the highly
successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format chapters include introductions to their
respective topics lists of the necessary materials and reagents step-by-step readily
reproducible laboratory protocols and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known
pitfalls.Authoritative and comprehensive Viral Metagenomics: Methods and Protocols is a
valuable resource for researchers and specialists who are interested in learning more about
this evolving field.
