RNA interference (RNAi) is a mechanism for sequence-specific gene silencing triggered by double-stranded (ds) RNA. RNAi constitutes an effective antiviral defense mechanism in many organisms. Accordingly, viruses interact with the RNAi pathway at different levels. In the process of silencing of mRNA, a eukaryotic cell produces a strand of RNA which is complimentary to the mRNA of the parasite, thus making it's RNA double stranded. This inhibits the parasite to translate it's RNA to any kind of protein and thus it prevents infection.
