In 2017, Hadidi et al. edited a voluminous monograph entitled "Viroids and Satellites", in which each known viroid and viroid-like satellite species was described in detail from many perspectives by more than 100 experts from 24 countries. In its 700+ pages, the book is a much needed detailed and reliable compendium of a subject, which, undoubtedly, is still little known by many potential readers. Because most users of the book may be expected to be practical plant pathologists, it appears essential that the book contain, in addition to the detailed viroid and satellite descriptions, one chapter, in which the basic molecular biology of viroids and satellites is described.
2017 年，Hadidi 等人编辑了一本篇幅庞大的专著，题为《类病毒和卫星》，书中 24 个国家的 100 多位专家从多个角度详细描述了每一种已知的类病毒和类病毒卫星。该书 700 多页，是对这一主题的详细而可靠的汇编，无疑，许多潜在读者对这一主题仍然知之甚少。由于该书的大多数使用者可能是实用植物病理学家，因此除了详细的类病毒和卫星描述外，书中还包含一章描述类病毒和卫星的基本分子生物学似乎是必不可少的。
