Caenorhabditis elegans is a commonly studied animal model in laboratories. The discovery ofthe first natural viral infections of Caenorhabditis brings new models to study animal-virusinteractions.The Orsay virus, specifically infecting C. elegans, and the Santeuil virus, specificallyinfecting C. briggsae, are positive single strand RNA viruses (Hepatites, Chikungunya,Coronavirus etc…) disrupting the structure of intestinal cells of their host. However, weobserved a strong variability in the sensitivity to those viruses at the intraspecific level.To identify the genetic basis of the sensitivity, we performed a genome wide association studyon 97 wild isolates of C. elegans. We were able to identify the center of chromosome IV as aregion conta...
