Virus and dsRNA-triggered transcriptional responses reveal key components of honey bee antiviral defense

Abstract Recent high annual losses of honey bee colonies are associated with many factors, including RNA virus infections. Honey bee antiviral responses include RNA interference and immune pathway activation, but their relative roles in antiviral defense are not well understood. To better characteri...
