Investigations into the viral molecular determinants of lethality of Punta Toro virus (Bunyaviridae, phlebovirus) in the Syrian hamster.
… induced illness, pathogenic mechanism and the viral ecology with respect to animal reservoirs and distribution. This dissertation addresses questions regarding viral genetics and their affect on virulence in the hamster model of Phlebovirus pathogenesis. This study reports that PTV strains …

Ecological forces affecting microbial eukaryotes in the coastal ocean
… mechanisms by which nutrient limitation and viral infection affect marine protistan communities. In the first study, I leverage the 93-day Nahant Time Series to examine the dynamics and ecology of viruses infecting marine protists, the majority of which have only been identified by …

The epidemiology of Lagos bat virus and henipaviruses in straw-coloured fruit bats (Eidolon helvum), using population genetics to infer population connectivity
… Ghana aim to better understand E. helvum and viral ecology, as well as the nature of human-bat interactions. To assess whether the findings from these studies can be extrapolated across the species’ continental range, more information on the movement ecology of the species and connectivity of …

Microbial ecology in deep granitic groundwater - activity and impact of viruses
… abundant biological agent on earth and microbial ecology in all environments is greatly affected by viruses. The world’s viral populations in marine ecosystems are known to influence the mortality of bacteria and archaea and biogeochemical cycles, and to have great genetic diversity. At the Äspö …

Elucidating aquatic virioplankton diversity and dynamics using high-throughput DNA sequencing
Viral infection and lysis are important processes contributing to the diversification and evolution of microbial communities. In marine ecosystems that cover 70% of the earth’s surface, there are ~10 million viruses per milliliter of seawater, indicating an incredible diversity of viruses waiting …
