The zebrafish () possesses evolutionarily conserved innate and adaptive immunity as a mammal and has recently become a popular vertebrate model to exploit infection and immunity. Antiviral RNA interference (RNAi) has been illuminated in various model organisms, including , , and mice. However, to date, there is no report on the antiviral RNAi pathway of zebrafish. Here, we have evaluated the possible use of zebrafish to study antiviral RNAi with Sindbis virus (SINV), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and Nodamura virus (NoV). We find that SINVs and NoVs induce the production of virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs), the hallmark of antiviral RNAi, with a preference for a length of 22 nucleotides, after... More
