This review article aimed at reviewing current science on DIPs of their molecular and immunological features, role in disease progression and persistence, impact on vaccine production and viral vectors, and future directions. Defective interfering particles are very important to the field of biotechnology and genetic engineering due to their nature of stimulating the immune system and attenuating some of the live viruses during live-attenuated vaccine production, however, they have a devastating effect like interfering with vaccine production, that is decreasing the viral titer, and facilitate pathogenesis and persistence of some viral infections. Keywords: Defective Interfering Particles; Persistence; Virus 1. Introduction Viruses are DNA or RNA fragments covered by protein that are incapable to reproduce independently rather they replicate within cells by using the genetic machinery of those cells. During 1947 Von Magnus discovered incomplete particles after he performs consecutive unmixed passages of influenza viruses [1]. Nayak supports Von Magnus experiment by preparing chicken embryo cells and making it to be infected with equine influenza virus, in the first 10hr he obtained the whole RNA component of infectious virus, but after 20 to 30 hours the virus released was Von Magnus type and contained the RNAs of incomplete virus.

PLEs parasitize the lytic phage ICP1, excising from the bacterial chromosome, replicating, and mobilizing to new host cells following cell lysis. PLEs protect their host cell populations by completely restricting the production of ICP1 progeny. Previously, it was found that ICP1 replication was reduced during PLE(+) infection. Despite robustly replicating its genome, PLE produces relatively few transducing units, leading us to investigate if PLE DNA replication itself is antagonistic to ICP1 replication. Here we identify key constituents of PLE replication and assess their role in interference of ICP1. PLE encodes a RepA_N initiation factor that is sufficient to drive replication from the PLE origin of replication during ICP1 infection. In contrast to previously characterized bacteriophage satellites, expression of the PLE initiation factor was not sufficient for PLE replication in the absence of phage.

Received: 10 February 2018; Accepted: 8 March 2018; Published: 9 March 2018 Abstract: The power and ease of Drosophila genetics and the medical relevance of mosquito- transmitted viruses have made dipterans important model organisms in antiviral immunology. Studies of virus–host interactions at the molecular and population levels have illuminated determinants of resistance to virus infection. Here, we review the sources and nature of variation in antiviral immunity and virus susceptibility in model dipteran insects, specifically the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and vector mosquitoes of the genera Aedes and Culex. We first discuss antiviral immune mechanisms and describe the virus-specificity of these responses. In the following sections, we review genetic and microbiota-dependent variation in antiviral immunity. In the final sections, we explore less well-studied sources of variation, including abiotic factors, sexual dimorphism, infection history, and endogenous viral elements. We borrow from work on other pathogen types and non-dipteran species when it parallels or complements studies in dipterans.
