Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are evolutionary remnants of retroviral infections in which the viral genome became embedded as a dormant regulatory element within the host germline. When ERVs become activated, they comprehensively rewire ge...

The effector repertoire of a pathogen is dynamically evolving. However, the effector translocation mechanism, partly elucidated recently, may be conserved. By targeting the effector translocation machinery, rather than the individual evolvi...
