Nucleic acid sensing by STING induces an interferon-like antiviral response in a marine invertebrate

This study shows that shrimp STING detects DNA to trigger an interferon-like antiviral response, independent of cGAS and involving the IRF-Vago pathway.

Penaeidins are a novel family of antiviral effectors against WSSV in shrimp

This study identifies penaeidins as antiviral effectors in shrimp that bind WSSV virions, inhibit viral entry, and are regulated by Toll and IMD pathways.
