The antiviral RNAi response in vector and non-vector cells against orthobunya viruses [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Vector arthropods control arbovirus replication and spread through antiviral innate immune responses including RNA interference (RNAi) pathways. Arbovirus infections have been shown to induce the exogenous small interfering RNA (siRNA) and
