Nevertheless, in our experimental setup, it could indeed miss the correct time-points or sampling tissues (the lacking of information about viral titters in tissues rather than the whole body) to see the expected effect of the associations between RNAi (BtDicer-2) and JAK/STAT (BtHop) through BtVago upon infections of IAPV and SBPV in bumblebees. The gene discussed is SOAT1; the disease is infection.
