Induction of host defence responses by Drosophila C virus
12 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
Insect responses that are specific for virus infection have been investigated using the genetically tractable Drosophila melanogaster. Most studies focus on interactions with Drosophila C virus (DCV), which is a member of the family Dicistroviridae. DCV is a non-enveloped, T=3 icosahedral virus with a positive-sense RNA genome. It was demonstrated recently that several genes controlled by the Jak-STAT pathway are...
