Origins of alphavirus-derived small RNAs in mosquitoes
1 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
The continual transmission in nature of many arthropod-borne viruses depends on the establishment of a persistent, nonpathogenic infection in a mosquito vector. The importance of antiviral immunity directed by small RNAs in the mechanism by which alphaviruses establish a persistent, nonpathogenic infection in the mosquito vector has recently been demonstrated. The origin of the small RNAs central to this RNA...
