Widespread genome reorganization of an obligate virus mutualist.

PLoS genetics - 1 Sept 2014

Burke Gaelen R, Walden Kimberly K O, Whitfield James B, Robertson Hugh M, Strand Michael R

Abstract excerpt

The family Polydnaviridae is of interest because it provides the best example of viruses that have evolved a mutualistic association with their animal hosts. Polydnaviruses in the genus Bracovirus are strictly associated with parasitoid wasps in the family Braconidae, and evolved ∼100 million years ago from a nudivirus. Each wasp species relies on its associated bracovirus to parasitize hosts, while each...
