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. Innate immune responses are defense responses mediated by germline encoded components that directly recognize components of potential pathogens. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the inactivation of gene expression by a posttranscriptional mechanism. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of the inactivation of gene expression by a posttranscriptional mechanism. 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. Any cellular process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving nucleobases, nucleosides, nucleotides and nucleic acids. The inactivation of gene expression by a posttranscriptional mechanism. Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of the inactivation of gene expression of both viral genes and host homologues to those genes by a posttranscriptional mechanism in a virally infected cell.
