Vertebrates depend on a sophisticated network of innate and adaptive immune responses for antiviral defense. Insects and other non-vertebrates, however, lack these immune mechanisms; yet, they are able to effectively clear viral infections. We recently showed that RNA interference (RNAi) is an important antiviral immune system in the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster. Viruses are suppressed by the RNAi machinery, and, as a counter-defense, many viruses evolved suppressors of RNAi.
