Summary Introduction
To describe: The way in which polydnaviruses are mutualistic partners with certain wasps.
Introduction: A virus can be defined as an infectious agent that is capable to replicate inside the living cell of other organisms. A virus consists of a DNA or RNA as the genetic material, a capsid protecting the genetic material, and a lipid envelope that surrounds the protein coat. Polydnaviruses are those viruses that contain multiple circular double-stranded DNA encapsulated in capsid proteins and an envelope.

Discuss the coevolution of polydnaviruses and their mutualistic partners
Host specificity of a virus is due to
O 1) similarities in size between the virus and the host cell.
O 2) the presence or absence of a cell wall on the host cell.
O 3) particular genes that it shares with the infected cell.
4) compatibility between viral and cellular surface molecules.
5) the presence of an envelope.
explain how Astrovirus shows a higher level of persistence as compared to poliovirus or adenovirus in the environment.
