Orsay virus infection is associated with reduced locomotion and alters cue-dependent food choice in Caenorhabditis elegans

This study shows Orsay virus infection reduces locomotion in C. elegans and alters food choice based on sensory context, with eol-1 modulating these behaviors.

Reduced gravity and muon flux absence affect Caenorhabditis elegans life history traits and viral infection

This study examines how reduced gravity and muon flux affect viral infection and life history traits in Caenorhabditis elegans, revealing impacts on reproduction, morphology, and viral dynamics.

Cosmic silence and viral noise: transcriptomic crosstalk in Caenorhabditis elegans under simulated space conditions

This study examines how simulated space conditions affect viral infection in C. elegans, finding that abiotic stressors reduce viral replication and alter host gene expression.

Story of an infection: viral dynamics and host responses in the Caenorhabditis elegans-Orsay virus pathosystem

This study tracks the progression of OrV infection in C. elegans, identifying four infection stages and gene expression changes, revealing virus-specific and general immune responses.
