Figure 1. Roles of host miRNAs on virus infection in shrimp in vivo.

Figure 1

The effect of miR-9041 (A) or miR-9850 (C) overexpression on virus infection in the gills of shrimp. To overexpress the host miRNA, miR-9041-mimic or miR-9850-mimic and WSSV were co-injected into shrimp. At different time post-infection (0, 24, 36, and 48 h), the WSSV copies in shrimp were examined. U6 was used as a control. The influence of miR-9041 (B) or miR-9850 (D) silencing on the virus infection in vivo. AMO-miR-9041 or AMO-miR-9850 and WSSV were co-injected into shrimp. At various time post-infection (0, 24, 36, and 48 h), the WSSV copies in shrimp were evaluated. The numbers showed the time points after WSSV infection in shrimp. Asterisks indicated significant differences (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01) between treatments.
