Viruses
are the most abundant life form on earth, and we are exposed to many of them
every day. Sometimes, we are made ill by that exposure, but mostly not.
I will discuss what viruses are, how they infect us, and what kinds of
factors determine whether and how we become ill. Come hear what
Australian rabbits and parasitic wasps have to tell us about our relationship
with viruses.
