La Crosse virus (LACv) is the most common cause of pediatric arboviral infection in North America and is endemic in western North Carolina. The virus is primarily vectored by Aedes triseriatus although two invasive species (Ae. albopictus and Ae. jap... |

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and can utilize two different pathways after infection; the lytic or lysogenic cycles. During the lytic cycle, the bacteriophage hijacks the bacterial machinery to replicate itself and destroy the bacte... |
| Identification of a novel transcriptional repressor gene in Kumao, a genetically unique bacteriophage |
2020 |

Kumao is a genetically unique bacteriophage that infects Mycobacterium smegmatis (M. smegmatis) and was selected for further study because of its noncanonical genome arrangement. As an example, integrase genes are typically located at the center of M... |

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and are characteristically specific for their bacterial hosts with preferences rarely traversing genus boundaries. Mycobacteriophages – bacteriophages that infect Mycobacterial hosts – are the largest c... |
