This study examines how increasing CpG and UpA dinucleotides in West Nile virus affects replication in mosquitoes and vertebrates, showing differential attenuation and neuroinvasiveness outcomes.

This study sequences and analyzes MVEV isolates from the Ralph Doherty collection, identifies new genotypes, and establishes mouse models of MVEV disease.

The paper examines genetic variation in the Intracellular Pathogen Response (IPR) in C. elegans, finding balancing selection in key regulators and showing haplotype-specific antiviral defense.

The paper identifies two loci on chromosome IV in C. elegans associated with OrV susceptibility, with a single nucleotide polymorphism in cul-6 contributing to the difference between strains.
