The cell intrinsic innate immune responses provide a first line of defense against viral infection , and often function by targeting cellular pathways usurped by the virus during infection .
We found that the energy regulator AMPK , which potently inhibits fatty acid synthesis , restricts infection of the Bunyavirus , Rift Valley Fever Virus ( RVFV ) , an important re - emerging arthropod - borne human pathogen for which there are no effective vaccines or therapeutics .
