Because of the numerous advantages of us- ing virus to regulate the red-tide and the water bloom, it has become a hot research orientation that people adopted algae virus to control the algae. Nowadays, there were already many algae virus that had been isolated and identified and sci- entists also have some research regarding to their practical use, finding that the effect that viruses have on the practical ecosysystem is extremelycomplex. So focus was put on the virus zoology. It is known that the genetic diversity of phy- covirus is extremely high, butseeking the way to consider its worldwide distribution and some efficient ways to detect and analysis it has become a global research hotspot. This article introduces the recent research progress of algae virus related with the ecological distribution, geneticdistribution, correlative target genes and frequently-used analytical pro- cedure and makes some pr
