  1. List of bovine miRNAs that were observed to be up-regulated and down-regulated in serum samples collected from cattle persistently infected with FMDV (“FMDV carriers”) and convalescent cattle that had successfully cleared infection (“non-carriers”). Differential miRNA expression is presented relative to uninfected animals. Shown are the miRNA species, the fold-change in expression levels (in ascending order), and the ascribed function from literature searches of cattle miRNAs and homologous miRNAs from other species with little to no sequence divergence. The miRNAs listed showed a fold-change in expression levels of greater than 1.50, and had p-values of <0.05
