Abstract excerpt
Host-pathogen interactions evolve rapidly within species, providing natural genetic resources for the identification of specific ecological interaction factors. We previously identified RNA viruses that infect the nematodes Caenorhabditis elegans and Caenorhabditis briggsae in a species-specific manner. Wild strains of both host species demonstrate ample variation in viral sensitivity. Here we use recombinant...
