Blocking the Competition: Superinfection Inhibition by Giant Viruses

Catch up on the latest webinar in the Journal of Virology Seminar Series, featuring Isabella Aquino, Ph.D., M.S., as she explores the newly identified phenomenon of superinfection inhibition in giant viruses that infect amoebas—specifically mimivirus and moumouvirus. In this talk, Aquino presents compelling evidence that these viruses can prevent subsequent infections by blocking additional viral particles from entering the same host cell, a strategy notably absent in megavirus. Her findings shed light on the complex competitive dynamics between viruses and offer fresh insights into how these interactions shape virus-host relationships, evolutionary pathways, and broader ecological systems.
