Funded Activity Summary

In vivo assembly and virulence of poxvirus infectious crystals. Widespread insect viruses have evolved unique infectious forms called crystalline armours. This project will use innovative biophysical approaches to understand how these virus-containing crystals assemble and package viruses and contribute to virulence as a rational basis for improved bioinsecticides and novel microparticles for biotechnological applications.
