PI3K-Akt pathway mediated antiviral mechanism in silkworm .

nucleopolyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) is a highly pathogenic virus to domestic silkworm , often causing severe economic losses to silk industry. Interestingly, there are no documented reports of NPV infection in the wild silkworm . Analysis of gene expression datasets and comparative genomic analysis of sequence datasets from and was undertaken to unravel the potential immune-related proteins and immune pathways involved.
