Pathogenesis Affinity Group
The Pathogenesis Affinity Group meets weekly to provide a forum for intellectual enrichment, scientific
discussion, and exchange of ideas among scientists studying diverse aspects of animal and plant
virology and viral pathogenesis. TSRI scientists and outside guest speakers are invited to present their
experimental data. The areas of interest are (1) study of virus-host cell interactions; (2) defining the
molecular basis of viral persistence; (3) analysis of virus-immune cell interactions with resultant
immunosuppression or autoimmunity; (4) analysis of mechanism(s) whereby viruses cause acute,
chronic-degenerative and demyelinating diseases; (5) mapping of neural tracts and studying virus-CNS
cell interactions; (6) development of antiviral therapies and vaccines; and (7) targeting drugs into the
central nervous system by use of viruses as carriers.
