Funded Activity Summary

Antarctic virus-host interactions. This project aims to determine how hosts and viruses interact in the natural environment and during alien invasions. Viruses are important in Antarctic aquatic systems, but foreign viruses introduced into Antarctica threaten indigenous species. Despite this awareness, big gaps exist in understanding how viruses interact with their hosts and how Antarctic communities respond to invasion. This knowledge is expected to reveal how life in Antarctica evolved, and provide information useful for developing policy to manage the Antarctic environment with scope for collaborations between industry and researchers to find practical solutions for biotechnology industries.
