Professor Daniel Watterson noted that the new findings offer important insights into the biology of yellow fever and could guide the development of improved vaccines and antiviral tools for this virus and other orthoflaviviruses.

"This gives us a foundation to explore future genetic or systems biology interventions that could improve retention or even enable biotransformation."

"The possibility of translating these findings into humans is very exciting," said Seung K. Kim, MD, PhD, the KM Mulberry Professor and a professor of developmental biology, gerontology, endocrinology and metabolism.

Although the site is remarkable for both its geology and its biology, it faces significant risks.

"Our findings thus illuminate a central principle of eukaryotic stress biology," says Beckmann.
