Virus-virus interaction strategies: Understanding functional strategies when multiple viruses co-infect a single host (mVish)

Results of this project will provide novel insights on how viruses interact with each other and how to incorporate these interactions in studying the ecology and evolution of viruses and their respective hosts in freshwater ecosystems. Our aim is to resolve how do viruses interact in model pathosystems encompassing two viruses co-infecting a single host (mVish). We also will define how does the co-infection affect the bacterial host.
