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.

该项目旨在确定宿主和病毒在自然环境中和外来入侵期间如何相互作用。病毒在南极水生系统中很重要，但引入南极的外来病毒威胁到当地物种。尽管有这种认识，但在了解病毒如何与宿主相互作用以及南极社区如何应对入侵方面存在很大差距。这些知识预计将揭示南极洲的生命是如何进化的，并为制定管理南极环境的政策提供有用的信息，为产业界和研究人员之间的合作寻找生物技术产业的实际解决方案提供空间。
