Antiviral response to pupal injection with DWV-A from two genotypes, QS1 and QS2, where queens were exposed to DWV-A orally and venereally. (A) Fold change relative quantity of dicer-like where pupal injection treatments were significant, n = 162 (9 individuals per bar). Overall, venereally exposed queens from QS2 had upregulated dicer-like expression, whereas those from QS1 had reduced expression, tracking their DWV-A levels in Fig. 1. (B) Fold change relative quantity of relish where queen exposure was significant n = 162 (27 individuals per bar). Bars accompanied by the same letter represent non-significance (P > 0.05; Tukey HSD). Error bars represent one standard error from the mean.
