Abstract
The goal of these studies is to understand how viral proteins interact with host cell membrane compartments to facilitate the complex process of virus assembly and envelopment. We anticipate an understanding the host-virus interaction at a molecular level will lead to us toward genetic manipulation strategies capable of producing animals that are resistant to disease, and a provide a sound scientific basis for the design of antiviral therapies. The viruses we have chosen to work on represent two extremes of structural complexity. Both viruses cause economically devastating diseases of farm animals and have been studied extensively at the specialised facilities provided by the Pirbright Laboratories.
