A cunning group of pathogens induce comet tails of actin in host cytoplasm to spread their infection from one cell to the next. Mueller et al. use electron tomography to elucidate the structure of and insect virus actin comets and provide new insights into the mechanism of actin-based pathogen propulsion.
