Viruses cause infection of all animals including people and the outcome of infection is highly variable. This project aims to use genetics to explain why some animals are more susceptible to particular virus infections and some strains of virus cause more severe diseases. The project will also explore whether all cells are similarly susceptible to killing by viruses.

病毒引起包括人在内的所有动物的感染，并且感染的结果是高度可变的。该项目旨在利用遗传学来解释为什么一些动物更容易受到特定病毒感染，而一些病毒株会导致更严重的疾病。该项目还将探索是否所有细胞都同样容易被病毒杀死。
