  1. Values are normalised relative quantities (NRQ) to the mean expression level of all the samples ± S.E. Superscripts (a,b) across the row indicate significant difference between the virus challenged and control groups. Superscripts (x,y) across the row indicate significant difference between the 5 and 15 h time-points of egg-shell formation. In each group at each time-point, there were 10 samples processed for qPCR assay
