Brief description New and re-emerging viral infections continue to pose a major problem. We have recently discovered a hitherto unrecognized process that the body uses to regulate its response to infection. Some viruses have evolved to target this process, underscoring its importance. We will study 2 virus models, poxvirus and influenza A, to understand how this process works during infection. We will also examine the potential to exploit this process to block pathology and influence recovery from infection.
