Zika virus alters the microRNA expression profile and elicits an RNAi response in Aedes aegpyti mosquitoes

ABSTRACT: We sequenced the small RNA profiles in ZIKV-infected and non-infected Ae. aegypti mosquitoes at 2, 7 and 14 days post-infection. ZIKV induced an RNAi response in the mosquito with virus-derived short interfering RNAs dramatically increased in abundance post-infection. Further, we found 17 host miRNAs that were modulated by the ZIKV infection at all time points.
