Infection of human cells with a wide range of viruses, including yellow fever virus, Sindbis virus, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, measles virus, influenza A virus, reovirus, vesicular stomatitis virus, HIV-1, or herpes simplex virus 1, failed to reveal any enhancement in viral replication in Dicer-inhibited human cells (human cells with the absence of Dicer) [162]. Here, DICER1 is linked to infection.
