Virology Lectures 2020 #23: Viral ecology

Ecology, the study of the relationships of organisms to each other and to their environment, is highly relevant to viruses. In this lecture we utilize selected virus-host interactions to explore how anthropogenic ecological perturbations lead to zoonotic infections, how viruses regulate global geochemical cycles, their impact on algal blooms, and the evidence for horizontal gene transfer.

And note: the photo of the Emiliania bloom is of the UK, not Italy. My error.
