Specific posttranscriptional gene inactivation ('silencing') both of viral gene(s), and host gene(s) homologous to the viral genes. This silencing is triggered by viral infection, and occurs through a specific decrease in the level of mRNA of both host and viral genes. Reactions triggered in response to the presence of a virus that act to protect the cell or organism. Gene silencing induced by DNA viruses leading to a sequence-specific degradation of target mRNAs or post-transcriptional gene silencing. Innate immune responses are defense responses mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens. The alteration by an organism of the levels of RNA in the host organism. The host is defined as the larger of the organisms involved in a symbiotic interaction.
