This paper discovers a new archaeal virus that suppresses host immunity gene transcription, leading to faster growth of its host when the virus is removed.

This study shows a TIR-SAVED effector can act independently as an antiviral defense, clearing viruses without its cyclase partner and using a host-produced second messenger.

This study shows that the archaeal CBASS system H-CBASS2 protects against both lytic and chronic viruses by depleting NAD+, with different kinetics depending on infection type.
