The Chern Symposium 1979: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Differential Geometry in honor of S.-S. Chern, held in Berkeley, California, June 1979

This quantity attests to the power of differential geometry because it probes deeper into its inner constitution and explores ever widening connections with different topics in arithmetic and physics. To so much folks Professor S. S. Chern is smooth differential geometry, and we, his scholars, are thankful to him for best us to this fertile panorama.

As there are no known ssDNA, nor dsRNA reverse transcribed viruses, and there are negative sense viruses only for ssRNA viruses, these four criteria give rise to seven clusters comprising the 51 families and 24 genera of viruses. In addition, subviral agents, namely the satellites, viroids and agents of spongiform encephalopathies (prions) are included, in most cases without official taxonomic status. Finally, a list of unassigned viruses is provided. 40 THE ORDER OF PRESENTATION OF THE VIRUSES Order Family Subfamily Genus Type Species Host Page Myoviridae "T4-like phages"l coliphage T4 Bacteria 51 Siphoviridae "A-like phages" coliphage A Bacteria 55 Podoviridae ''T7-like phages" coliphage T7 Bacteria 60 Tectiviridae Tectivirus enterobacteria phage PRD1 Bacteria 64 Corticoviridae Corticovirus Alteromonas phage PM2 Bacteria 67 Plasmaviridae Plasmavirus Acholeplasma phage L2 Mycoplasma 70 Lipothrixviridae Lipothrixvirus Thermoproteus virus 1 Bacteria 73 Fuselloviridae Fusellovirus Sulfolobus virus 1 Bacteria 76 Poxviridae 79 Chordopoxvirinae Orthopoxvirus Parapoxvirus Avipoxvirus Capripoxvirus Leporipoxvirus Suipoxvirus Molluscipoxvirus Yatapoxvirus vaccinia virus orf virus fowlpox virus sheep pox virus myxoma virus swinepox virus Molluscum contagiosum virus Yaba monkey tumor virus Vertebrates Vertebrates Vertebrates Vertebrates Vertebrates Vertebrates Vertebrates Vertebrates Entomopoxvirinae Entomopoxvirus A Entomopoxvirus B Entomopoxvirus C Melolontha melolontha entomopoxvirus Amsacta moorei entomopoxvirus Chironomus luridus entomopoxvirus Invertebrates Invertebrates Invertebrates 88 88 89 89 Vertebrates 2 92 "African swine fever-like viruses" African swine fever virus Quotes are used to denote taxa without ICTV international approved names.
