Viruses continue to pose a public health threat raising the need for effective management
strategies. Currently existing antiviral therapeutics are often specific to only a single viral …

Antagonistic relationships such as host-virus interactions potentially lead to rapid evolution
and specificity in interactions. The Orsay virus is so far the only horizontal virus naturally …

The discovery of Orsay virus (OrV), the first virus infecting wild populations of Caenorhabditis
elegans, has boosted studies of viral immunity pathways in this nematode. Considering the …

Although individual parasite species commonly infect many populations across physical
space as well as multiple host species, the extent to which parasites traverse physical and …

Spillover of infectious diseases is a significant issue for human, animal, and plant health, in
part due to their potential to host jump. Current approaches to predict and prevent host …

Biodiversity can affect parasite prevalence, a phenomenon widely studied in macroscopic
organisms. However, data from microscopic communities is lacking, despite their essential …

Viral infections pose significant global health threats, necessitating ongoing research into
vaccines and therapies. Model organisms like nematode worm (Caenorhabditis elegans) …

Variation in transmission plays a crucial role in sha** the dynamics of infectious diseases.
Population heterogeneity is known to contribute to this variation and is often represented in …

Factors sha** the distribution and abundance of species include life-history traits,
population structure, and stochastic colonization–extinction dynamics. Field studies of model …
