Orsay virus infection is associated with reduced locomotion and alters cue-dependent food choice in Caenorhabditis elegans

Dominik Herek, Esmeralda G. Legarda, Simone Carrara…·Santiago F. Elena

This study shows Orsay virus infection reduces locomotion in C. elegans and alters food choice based on sensory context, with eol-1 modulating these behaviors.

Within-host virus spreading and tolerance to infection are key factors of the Arabidopsis thaliana age-dependent susceptibility to viral infections

Ízan Melero, ‪Aurelio Gómez‐Cadenas, Rubén González, Santiago F. Elena

This study investigates age-dependent susceptibility to viral infections in Arabidopsis thaliana, finding that later stages show increased viral spread but also greater fertility, suggesting a trade-off between susceptibility and fitness.
