Evidence for Environmental Dissemination of Antibiotic Resistance Mediated by Wild Birds.

abstract：:There is evidence that eukaryotic miRNAs (hereafter called host miRNAs) play a role in the replication and propagation of viruses. Expression or targeting of host miRNAs can be involved in cellular antiviral responses. Most times host miRNAs play a role in viral life-cycles and promote infection through complex regula...
