New viral diseases are emerging continuously. Viruses adapt to new environments at
astounding rates. Genetic variability of viruses jeopardizes vaccine efficacy. For
many viruses mutants resistant to antiviral agents or host immune responses arise
readily, for example, with HIV and influenza. These variations are all of utmost importance
for human and animal health as they have prevented us from controlling these epidemic
pathogens. This book focuses on the mechanisms that viruses use to evolve, survive
and cause disease in their hosts. Covering human, animal, plant and bacterial viruses,
it provides both the basic foundations for the evolutionary dynamics of viruses and
specific examples of emerging diseases explained by the evolutionary flexibility of
the viral agents that circulate in a continuously changing earth environment
