Abstract excerpt
Myxoma virus (MYXV) causes localized cutaneous fibromas in its natural hosts, tapeti and brush rabbits; however, in the European rabbit, MYXV causes the lethal disease myxomatosis. Currently, the molecular mechanisms underlying this increased virulence after cross-species transmission are poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the interaction between MYXV M156 and the host protein kinase R (PKR) to...
