Sex-specific survival and absence of Wolbachia-mediated protection during invertebrate iridescent virus 31 infection in Armadillidium vulgare.
Invertebrate Iridescent Virus 31 (IIV-31, or Iridovirus armadillidium1) is a large double-stranded DNA virus that induces iridescence and high mortality in terrestrial isopods. Despite its broad distribution, its pathogenic mechanisms and interactions with host immunity and endosymbionts are poorly understood. We exami...
