Virus-Host Coevolution: Common Patterns of Nucleotide Motif Usage in Flaviviridae and Their Hosts
Virus-host biological interaction is a continuous coevolutionary process involving both host immune system and viral escape mechanisms. Flaviviridae family is composed of fast evolving RNA viruses that infects vertebrate (mammals and birds) and/or invertebrate (ticks and mosquitoes) organisms. These host groups are very distinct life forms separated by a long evolutionary time, so lineage-speci...
متن کاملCoevolution in host-parasite systems: behavioural strategies of slave-making ants and their hosts.
Recently, avian brood parasites and their hosts have emerged as model systems for the study of host-parasite coevolution. However, empirical studies of the highly analogous social parasites, which use the workers of another eusocial species to raise their own young, have never explicitly examined the dynamics of these systems from a coevolutionary perspective. Here, we demonstrate interpopulati...
متن کاملanalysis of synonymous codon usage bias, nucleotide and amino acid composition in 13 species of flaviviridae
flaviviridae are viruses that cause several diseases including dengue fever, japanese encephalitis, murray valley encephalitis, tick-borne encephalitis, west nile encephalitis, yellow fever and hepatitis c virus infection. members of this family have monopartite, linear, single-stranded rna genomes of positive polarity, 9.6-12.3 kb in length. here, we have analyzed the codon usage of 13 species...
متن کاملCoevolution of Rhagoletis hosts and their parasitic wasps
iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to my advisor, Andrew Forbes, whose encouragement and support over the years has been invaluable. I wish to thank my committee, for their guidance, support and feedback. A special thanks goes to my lab-mates Amanda Nelson, Alaine Hippee, Kristina Ottens and Eric Tvedte for driving me crazy while keeping me sane over the past five years. Thank you to Eil...
متن کاملAncient coevolution of baculoviruses and their insect hosts.
If the relationships between baculoviruses and their insect hosts are subject to coevolution, this should lead to long-term evolutionary effects such as the specialization of these pathogens for their hosts. To test this hypothesis, a phylogeny of the Baculoviridae, including 39 viruses from hosts of the orders Lepidoptera, Diptera, and Hymenoptera, was reconstructed based on sequences from the...
