Virus ecology is an integrated science that emerged at the intersection of virology and ecology. The ecology of viruses studies their relationship to the environment in all its diversity and the implications of these relationships for both viruses and the environment, including humans, animals, plants and microorganisms. The emergence of this scientific direction in virology was due to two circumstances: the growing pace of anthropogenic transformation of the biosphere due to scientific and technological progress and the need to predict the emergence / development of epidemic outbreaks of viral diseases. The study of a complex chain of events arising from the interaction of viruses with the ever-changing environment is carried out using an ecological approach.
