Burden or benefit? Virus-host interactions in the marine environment
Abstract
Viruses are the most numerous and diverse biological entities in the oceans. We are now beginning to understand the ecological role of viruses in the marine environment. As a result, we believe that viruses have important roles in both biochemical cycling and structuring of marine communities.
