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.

The paper characterizes replication dynamics and short-term evolutionary patterns of OrV, revealing strand asymmetry, mutational filtering, and non-standard genomes.

The paper maps eco-evolutionary barriers to Orsay virus host range across six Caenorhabditis species by analyzing viral life cycle dynamics and host competence phenotypes.
