Viral-host interactions refer to the dynamic relationship between viruses and their host organisms, including animals, plants, and bacteria. This area of research explores how viruses interact with host cells at molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. Researchers study a variety of aspects of viral-host interactions, including how viruses enter host cells, replicate within them, evade the host immune response, and manipulate cellular processes to promote their own replication and spread. Understanding these interactions is crucial for developing effective strategies to prevent and treat viral infections. Overall, viral-host interactions research plays a key role in advancing our understanding of viral pathogenesis, host immunity, and the development of antiviral therapies.
