Leishmania guyanensis controls endogenous viral replication by a canonical RNA interference pathway
This study investigated effectors in the canonical RNAi response and the Piwi protein of the human pathogen L. (Viannia) guyanensis by gene ablation and identified Dicer-like and Argonaute 1 proteins of the canonical RNAi pathway as critical for controlling viral RNA levels, suggesting that control of viral replication...
