Our lab is currently focusing on an unusual group of viruses, the polydnaviruses. These viruses occur in a two groups of parasitic wasps and cause developmental and immunological disruptions of the physiology of their lepidopteran hosts. Our laboratory is pursuing both the molecular basis for these alterations of host physiology and the genetic organization of polydnaviruses.
