  • Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus
    -- CALIFORNIA D EP ARTM ENT OF cdfaFOOD & AGRICULTURE ~ California Pest Rating Proposal for Tomato spotted wilt virus Current Pest Rating: C Proposed Pest Rating: C Kingdom: Viruses and viroids, Category: Riboviria Phylum: Negarnaviricota, Subphylum: Polyploviricotina Class: Ellioviricetes, Order: Bunyavirales Family: Tospoviridae, Genus: Orthotospovirus Comment Period: 6/30/2020 through 8/14/2020 Initiating Event: On August 9, 2019, USDA-APHIS published a list of “Native and Naturalized Plant Pests Permitted by Regulation”. Interstate movement of these plant pests is no longer federally regulated within the 48 contiguous United States. There are 49 plant pathogens (bacteria, fungi, viruses, and nematodes) on this list. California may choose to continue to regulate movement of some or all these pathogens into and within the state. In order to assess the needs and potential requirements to issue a state permit, a formal risk analysis for Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is given herein and a permanent pest rating is proposed. History & Status: Background: Named after Tomato spotted wilt virus, the family Tospoviridae includes species able to infect both insect vector, thrips (family Thripidae), and plant hosts. In plant pathology, viruses are often named after the first host they are described on and the most significant symptom they cause. "Spotted wilt" disease of tomato was first described in Australia in 1915. TSWV was the only member of the genus Tospovirus (now Orthotospovirus) until closely related Impatiens necrotic spot virus was characterized and added (Law and Moyer, 1990). The genus Orthotospovirus now contains TSWV as the type member and more than thirty distinct virus species. Most of them are more host specific than TSWV, and they can be separated by serological and molecular techniques (Agrios, 2005; Sherwood et al., 2003).

Viruses stand out among NASCIMENTO, I.R.1 the most damaging disease agents, which can drastically reduce fruit production. In LIMA, M.F.2 this context, weeds present in the field can also interfere in crop production, acting as reservoirs for viruses. Thus, this study aimed to investigate virus occurrence in weeds at the main watermelon-growing regions in the State of Tocantins. Viruses identification (e.g. potyviruses: Watermelon mosaic virus - WMV; Papaya ring spot virus – type watermelon -PRSV-W; Zucchini yellow mosaic virus- ZYMV; the cucumovirus Cucumber mosaic virus - CMV, and the orthotospovirus Zucchini lethal chlorosis virus - ZLCV) infecting weeds was performed by serology and confirmed by RT-PCR tests. Serological and molecular test results indicate that Amaranthus spinosus, Nicandra physaloides, Physalis angulata and Heliotropium indicum were infected by at least one virus species. The highest infection rate was represented by ZYMV (52.7%), followed by PRSV-W (22.2%); CMV, WMV, and ZLCV that showed the same infection rate (8.3%) each.

To determine which other viruses are associated with soybean thrips, the metatranscriptome of soybean thrips, collected by the Midwest Suction Trap Network during 2018, was analyzed. Contigs assembled from the data revealed a remarkable diversity of virus-like sequences. Of the 181 virus-like sequences identified, 155 were novel and associated primarily with taxa of arthropod-infecting viruses, but sequences similar to plant and fungus-infecting viruses were also identified.

  • Current Status and Potential of RNA Interference for the Management of Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and Thrips Vectors
    pathogens Review Current Status and Potential of RNA Interference for the Management of Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and Thrips Vectors Alexander Nilon 1 , Karl Robinson 1 , Hanu R. Pappu 2 and Neena Mitter 1,* 1 Centre for Horticultural Sciences, Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation, The University of Queensland, St Lucia, QLD 4067, Australia; [email protected] (A.N.); [email protected] (K.R.) 2 Department of Plant Pathology, Washington State University, Pullman, WA 99164-6430, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is the type member of the genus Orthotospovirus in the family Tospoviridae and order Bunyavirales. TSWV, transmitted by several species of thrips, causes significant disease losses to agronomic and horticultural crops worldwide, impacting both the yield and quality of the produce. Management strategies include growing virus-resistant cultivars, cultural practices, and managing thrips vectors through pesticide application. However, numerous studies have reported that TSWV isolates can overcome host-plant resistance, while thrips are developing resistance to pesticides that were once effective. RNA interference (RNAi) offers a means of host defence by using double-stranded (ds) RNA to initiate gene silencing against invading viruses. However, adoption of this approach requires production and use of transgenic plants and thus limits the practical application of RNAi against TSWV and other viruses. To fully utilize the potential of RNAi for virus management at the field level, new and novel approaches are needed. In this review, we summarize RNAi and highlight the potential of topical or exogenous application of RNAi triggers Citation: Nilon, A.; Robinson, K.; for managing TSWV and thrips vectors.

  • A Novel Cripavirus of an Ectoparasitoid Wasp Increases Pupal Duration and Fecundity of the Wasp’S Drosophila Melanogaster Host
    The ISME Journal https://doi.org/10.1038/s41396-021-01005-w ARTICLE A novel cripavirus of an ectoparasitoid wasp increases pupal duration and fecundity of the wasp’s Drosophila melanogaster host 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 3 Jiao Zhang ● Fei Wang ● Bo Yuan ● Lei Yang ● Yi Yang ● Qi Fang ● Jens H. Kuhn ● Qisheng Song ● Gongyin Ye 1 Received: 14 October 2020 / Revised: 21 April 2021 / Accepted: 30 April 2021 © The Author(s) 2021. This article is published with open access Abstract We identified a 9332-nucleotide-long novel picornaviral genome sequence in the transcriptome of an agriculturally important parasitoid wasp (Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Rondani, 1875)). The genome of the novel virus, Rondani’swaspvirus1(RoWV- 1), contains two long open reading frames encoding a nonstructural and a structural protein, respectively, and is 3’-polyadenylated. Phylogenetic analyses firmly place RoWV-1 into the dicistrovirid genus Cripavirus. We detected RoWV-1 in various tissues and life stages of the parasitoid wasp, with the highest virus load measured in the larval digestive tract. We demonstrate that RoWV-1 is transmitted horizontally from infected to uninfected wasps but not vertically to wasp offspring. Comparison of several important 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: biological parameters between the infected and uninfected wasps indicates that RoWV-1 does not have obvious detrimental effects on wasps. We further demonstrate that RoWV-1 also infects Drosophila melanogaster (Meigen, 1830), the hosts of the pupal ectoparasitoid wasps, and thereby increases its pupal developmental duration and fecundity, but decreases the eclosion rate. Together, these results suggest that RoWV-1 may have a potential benefit to the wasp by increasing not only the number of potential wasp hosts but also the developmental time of the hosts to ensure proper development of wasp offspring.

Because diverse hosts and vectors impose heterogeneous selection constraints on viral genomes, the evolutionary arms races between hosts and their pathogens might be manifested as selection for rapid changes in key genes. These observations suggest that orthotospoviruses contain key genetic components that rapidly mutate to mediate host adaptation and vector transmission. Using complete genome sequences, we profiled genomic variation in orthotospoviruses. Results show that the three genomic segments contain hypervariable areas at homologous locations across species. Remarkably, the highest nucleotide variation mapped to the intergenic region of RNA segments S and M, which fold into a hairpin.
