Plant virology has undergone a profound transformation over the past three decades. Revolutionary advances in molecular biology, genomics, bioinformatics, and next-generation sequencing have fundamentally reshaped our understanding of virus structure and genome organization, replication strategies, vector-mediated transmission, virus evolution, and virus–host interactions. As a direct consequence, the discipline has generated an increasingly complex and specialized vocabulary that continues to expand rapidly, posing a genuine challenge for students, and practitioners alike.

A Comprehensive Glossary of Plant Virology and Virus–Host Interactions was conceived precisely to address this challenge. Containing more than 2,500 entries, this reference work covers a large breadth of contemporary plant virology, including virus taxonomy and classification, genome organization and molecular biology, virus–host and virus–vector interactions, disease diagnosis and detection.

This glossary is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students in plant pathology, virology, agronomy, and biotechnology, as well as extension specialists, and plant health professionals. Entries are arranged in strict alphabetical order to facilitate rapid consultation, with cross-references provided where appropriate.

This is the fourth reference work published by the author, following the Dictionnaire de Pathologie Végétale (2014), the Dictionnaire de Virologie Végétale (2018), and the Glossary of Molecular Biology Terms (2021), and the glossary of plant virology: Essential Level(2026)
