Abstract

RNA interference has been used as a powerful tool in preventing virus proliferation in many species. In this study, we injected the dsRNA in vitro transcripts into Bombyx mori to investigate the resistance to B. mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV). Through vivisectional observation and real-time quantities PCR analysis, we found that these dsRNA can prevent the BmNPV to a certain extent, and delay the viruses' proliferation.
