Abstract
In this chapter we describe a number of bacterial foraging behaviours and demonstrate how these can be used to design optimisation algorithms. We also introduce a number of algorithms which are drawn from activities of even simpler biological agents, namely viruses, and illustrate how these agents can metaphorically be considered as foraging for host cells.
