Resumen

What affects the ability of a virus to adapt and specialize to its hosts? To answer this question, Visher et al. (2022) performed experimental evolution on a virus-insect system and showed that the virus specializes in its hosts through the evolution of its ability to infect or replicate. Genomic analysis of adapted lines of viruses in different host genotypes suggests that viral specialization is influenced by a complicated and polygenic mechanism.
