Abstract

Following on from the discovery that innate immune pathways are shared widely across the tree of life comes another surprise: Hobbs et al. show that viruses targeting animals and bacteria also use highly conserved tools to fight back. Why such mechanisms remain seemingly unchanged despite the rapid coevolution among hosts and pathogens is now a key open question for the field.

首选武器：病毒共享跨领域工具。

继发现先天性免疫途径在生命之树上广泛共享之后，又一个惊喜出现了：霍布斯等人的研究表明，针对动物和细菌的病毒也使用高度保守的工具进行反击。尽管宿主和病原体之间发生了快速的共同进化，但为什么这种机制似乎保持不变，这是目前该领域的一个关键性开放问题。
