Activation prior to SFV infection of pathways involving STAT/IMD, but not Toll signaling reduced subsequent virus gene expression and RNA levels. These pathways are therefore not only able to mediate protective responses against bacteria but also arboviruses. However, SFV infection of mosquito cells did not result in activation of any of these pathways and suppressed their subsequent activation by other stimuli.\n                  </jats:p>","journal":"Insect Molecular Biology","year":2008,"id":16473,"datarank":2.995062268141876,"base_score":4.543294782270004,"endowment":4.543294782270004,"self_citation_contribution":0.6814942173405006,"citation_network_contribution":2.3135680508013756,"self_endowment_contribution":0.6814942173405006,"citer_contribution":2.3135680508013756,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":93,"citer_count":77,"citers_with_citation_signal":64,"citers_with_endowment":64,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":null,"is_oa":false,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":null,"fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":121452,"name":"Y.
