Symbioses have largely contributed to the evolution of species by providing new function. Here, our aim was to study the molecular evolution of virulence factors of polydnaviruses, essential symbiont for wasp parasitism success. We studied both PDV genes and their Lepidopteran host targets to determine how these genes evolved and the host functions targeted. We showed that natural selection has largely contributed to virus genes evolution. We also underlined the dynamic evolution of PDV genes mainly explained by gene duplication processes. In the host, cysteine proteases, were shown to be regulated during parasitism both at the gene and the protein level. These results emphasized the important role played by these proteins against invaders....
