My activity
The main topic of my research is the study of symbioses between eukaryotes, prokaryotes and viruses by evaluating the consequences of these long-lasting interactions on the life-history traits of the partners through cellular, physiological and genetic approaches. Currently, I am studying more specifically: (1) The different cytoplasmic incompatibility patterns induced by Wolbachia in Culex pipiens mosquitoes. (ANR CIAWOL; Muse EwolPip Project; thesis of Manon Bonneau; thesis of Alice Namias); (2) The prevalence, diversity and mode of transmission of CPDV, a densovirus specific to Culex pipiens (Projet ANSES Densotool; thesis of Mine Altinli).
