Megan and I have been so busy that I have not posted anything here for a while. It is time we celebrate here the discovery of a new species of picornavirus in Threespine stickleback and of no less than six new RNA viruses in it cestode parasite Schistocephalus solidus. You will find more here. This link will lead you to a “behind the paper” blog post that I wrote, untitled “A Leaky Russian Doll: Discovery of Viruses in a Parasitic Worm and Transmission to Parasitized Hosts“.

The laboratory is currently relocating. Links to a new webpage will be provided shortly
