Bugs Are Not to Be Silenced: Small RNA Pathways and Antiviral Responses in Insects

29 Sept 2016

Abstract excerpt

Like every other organism on Earth, insects are infected with viruses, and they rely on RNA interference (RNAi) mechanisms to circumvent viral infections. A remarkable characteristic of RNAi is that it is both broadly acting, because it is triggered by double-stranded RNA molecules derived from virtually any virus, and extremely specific, because it targets only the particular viral sequence that initiated the...
