Abstract

Enteric eukaryotic viruses are increasingly recognized as non-pathogenic, immunomodulatory participants in the healthy intestinal microbiota. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Dallari et al. (2021) use a single virus infection approach to reveal both generalized viral immune responses and numerous unique, virus-specific response profiles.
