I will describe the execution of a virus-host interaction RNAi screen for Dengue against an arrayed lentiviral enabled shRNA library with two readouts assessing viral infection and host viability. The resulting targets offer a new opportunity for antiviral drug discovery through repurposing existing molecules.
