Graduate students will be writing “journal club” style critiques of primary research articles related to various topics in virology. This year the theme is the “history of viruses”, and the papers selected mark ground-breaking discoveries in virology to include the discovery of key enzymes and pathogens. Each write-up will have one or two articles to choose from. If two articles are provided that week, you must read both articles, but may choose one to write-up. Your writing assignment will be approximately one page. Attached is a document which provides guidelines for critiquing the articles. The guidelines remain the same for each grad assignment. For this assignment (and all graduate student assignments) students must read the following article and write a one page summary following the format outlined in Dr. Jones’ “Guidelines for Journal Article Review” (“writing your article analysis”). This document is posted with the announcement regarding graduate student assignments. The assigned article for this week investigates the impact that commensal bacteria can have on viral infection. Given the presence of the bacterial microbiome and it’s importance in maintaining health and immunity of the host, it is not surprising that viruses have evolved to interact with these bacteria. This is an emerging field of study in virology and it is now known that many viruses exploit the bacterial microbiome to enhance their ability to infect their host. The paper below specifically looks at the ability of a single bacterium to alter the permissiveness of dengue virus in mosquitoes, which are responsible for the transmission of this virus to humans. *** Attached is the article the website won’t let it download properly so I will also write the link to the article since on the website the article looks good not like in the PDF version where every sentences has a number before the sentence *** Website:https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.09.01.277152v1.full
