Invertebrate Virology
Insects are commonly infected with viruses. We study the interactions between viruses and their insect or arthropod hosts.
Viruses are obligate parasites, that is, they are completely dependent on the host cell machinery to complete their replication cycle. During infection, …
Understanding how insects respond to infection with viruses is important to develop strategies to control the spread of virus induced disease.
