"This interdisciplinary book describes in detail the sources physiology, molecular biology, dispersion, survival - and impact of diverse groups of viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and algae. The effects these microorganisms exert on humans and land animals - as well as fish, crustaceans, and corals - are discussed from basic and applied viewpoints, addressing both global and specific aspects of the topic."--Jacket.
