Visualization of RNA virus infection in a marine protist with a universal biomarker

Abstract Half of the marine virosphere is hypothesized to be RNA viruses (kingdom Orthornavirae) that infect abundant micro-eukaryotic hosts (e.g. protists). To test this, quantitative approaches that broadly track infections in situ are needed. Here, we describe a technique—dsRNA-Immunofluorescence...
