Table 2. Manual analysis of differentially expressed immune related genes across time points for NV+ and NV− flies list of Drosophila genes with potential relevance to the immune response [21], FlyBase [20], The Interactive Fly list of RNAi genes [22]. Some genes are represented at more than one time point. The numbers in the column indicate the total number of genes found either upregulated or downregulated for each group.
