Viruses are a huge threat to agriculture. In the past, viruses used to be controlled using conventional methods, such as crop rotation and destruction of the infected plants, but now there are more novel ways to control them. This volume focuses on natural and engineered virus resistance, the two major strategies used for crop protection.

Gad Loebenstein works in the Department of Virology at Agricultural Research Organization, Bet Dagan, Israel. John P. Carr is at University of Cambridge, UK
