Summary Introduction
To explain: The coevolution of polydnaviruses and their mutualistic partners.
Introduction: Polydnaviruses are insect viruses consisting of double-stranded DNA enclosed within the protein capsid and envelope. DNA constitutes a part of the virus genome. These are mainly found in

Discuss the coevolution of polydnaviruses and their mutualistic partners
The emerge of the SARS-COV-2 and middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS)-COV illustrate the threat of cross species transmission leading to out breaks in humans. What is the history of transmission of SARS-COV-2 to humans? What animals were involved in the transmission? Could this transmission happen again with other viruses?

- How does Red Queen Hypothesis cause an evolutionary race with coronaviruses and mammalian speciesarrow_forwardWhy do scientists worry more about new strains of viruses like influenza and coronviruses as potential causes of deadly human pandemics, but they never talk about the next big Herpesvirus strain deadly pandemic? Which of the statements below helps partially answer that? We already have effective vaccines for Herpes. Influenza and CoV have more genes, more complex gene expression, and can undergo genetic recombination or reassortment, while Herpesviruses are more limited. Only humans get Herpesviruses, while animals can get Influenza viruses and Coronaviruses. dsDNA viruses aren't very transmissible and even when they are, they're not deadly. Influenza and CoV are RNA viruses which results in having higher mutation rates -- they can more easily jump between host species. Herpesviruses are dsDNA viruses and usually very host specific.

- This table lists three hypothetical versions of the spike protein gene in the coronavirus. The B version is the original version in bats; the H and N versions have mutations. The last two columns show the characteristics of the spike protein for each version of the spike protein gene. Version of the Spike Protein Gene B H N H ΟΝ O B B and N OH and B Spike protein can bind to molecules on the surface of ON and H Bat Cells Yes Which version of the spike protein gene will result in a spike protein that will allows a coronavirus to enter a human cell to reproduced by the cell? No No Human Cells No Yes Noarrow_forwardThe complete coronavirus genome sequence from the first known patient infected with SARS-CoV-2 was published on January 10th 2020, just a short time after the patient had been hospitalized in China with respiratory symptoms. They did this so quickly using nanopore sequencing. Scientists compared the genome sequence from the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) with the genome sequences from several other coronaviruses and they did identify a sequence unique to the SARS-CoV-2 strain. This unique sequence was in the N gene of the viral genome. What protein is made from the N gene of the virus?arrow_forwardCompare how retroviruses solve the problem of replicating an RNA genome in a eukaryotic host with how other types of RNA viruses solve this same problem.arrow_forward

Name two important features of retroviruses and give an example of one. 3. Why do you think that nomadic societies are less likely to support extremely virulent viruses? 4. What was the role of filtration in the discovery of viruses? 5. Imagine a new respiratory virus that spreads via contact, droplet, and airborne transmission and we have no medical measures to stop the infection. Outline public health measures (non-medical interventions that can reduce the spread of a disease) that can be taken to slow down the spread of this virus.arrow_forward
