Laboratory of Virology
Our research focuses on plant viruses, arboviruses and insect viruses. We aim to unravel the molecular and ecological mechanisms underlying virus-host and virus-vector interactions to understand how these determine pathology and transmission. The acquired knowledge contributes to the development of new technologies (e.g. in vector control and biotechnology) and durable strategies for disease management (e.g. in molecular plant breeding, vaccine development, insect biocontrol and mass rearing of insects).

While we are preoccupied with the ravages of the coronavirus, the arrival of the West Nile virus in the Netherlands has gone almost unnoticed. Mosquitoes can transmit the virus to humans, some of whom become critically ill. Wageningen researchers are studying the spread of the new disease and designing vaccines.
