Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, the viral diseases mediated by arthropods such as insects become severe problems due to globalization and climate changing. A big clue has been given to this problem from studies of symbiotic bacteria, which is that symbiotic bacteria, Wolbachia, inhibits the replication of RNA viruses in the host insect and induces host resistance against RNA viral infections. In this research, we developed a screening system necessary for the development of antiviral drugs based on the mechanism of virus resistance mediated by symbiotic bacteria.
