Table 1 TR339-eGFP Infection Profiles following dsRNA Injection. Significantly enhanced viral eGFP fluorescence occurs at 4 dpi in midguts following Ago2 dsRNA treatment and in disseminated tissues at 7 dpi following TSNdsRNA treatment.

  1. "()" indicates percentage eGFP detected in each group.
  2. "**" indicates infection rate higher than βGAL controls. "^^" indicates infectious rate significantly lower than βGAL controls.
  3. Light: 1–33% of the midgut infected; Moderate: 34–66%; Heavy: 67–100%; illustrations of infection patterns have been previously reported [33, 35].
