after it :
Finally, a virus infects a worm and it has nothing to

do with computers. But it does have a lot to do with
humans. Courtney Wilkins, a microbiology and
immunology student at the University of Arkansas,
successfullyinfected the ... elegansearthworm with the
mammalianvesicularstomatitisvirus and had it replicate.
Others had tried and failed before and Wilkins'
breakthroughwill let researcherslearn more about how
viruses move from one host to another, and what
proteins they attach to in humans. Some cells in C
elegans, a microscopic earthworm comrhonly used in
biomedicalresearch,are similar to some human cells.
MCS-o15 1 i P.T.O.
"There were a lot of labs interestedin whether this
could work, so it just seemedpretty exciting,l' she said.
Since January 2002, Wilkins began siudyingwhether she
could infect the worms with a virus and have the virus
spread.She usuallyworked with muscleor intestinalcells
and eventually settled on using the vesicular stomatitis
virus. The virus is related to rabies and similar to
foot-and-mouth disease and mostly infects livestock,
Wilkins said. It took three to four months to establishthe
cell cultures. Khaled Machaca, one of Wilkins' advisers
and a professor of cell biology,. said the experiment
wasn't without its rough spots. He said that there were
points when he had to remind Wilkins that her decision
to undertakethe researchwas a risky one, becauseit was
unknown whether it would work. And that meant Wilkins'
degreewas at stake,becauseher careercould be stopped
if nothing came of the research,he said.
After two years, it was clear that Wilkins was

successful in her experiment. Wilkins remeinbered
discoveringabout 9 pm, one night in 2004 that the VSV
had replicated inside the worm cell. She immediately
called Marie Chow, a professorof virology and another
advisor. "Courtney gets so excited that she starts to
stutter," Chow-said. "She couldn't get the words out, so
we knew there was somethingto it," she said.
