Abstract excerpt
Virus emergence is often due to cross-species transmission and adaptation to the new host. We studied the effect of innate immune responses on shaping virus populations in native and nonnative virus-host combinations, using as a model system Drosophila melanogaster infected with either Drosophila C virus (DCV) or cricket paralysis virus (CrPV). In this host, the cGAS-like receptor 1 senses viral double-stranded...
