Metatranscriptomic Assessment of the Microbial Community Associated With the Flavescence doree Phytoplasma Insect Vector Scaphoideus titanus

Simona Abba et al.

Summary: Phytoplasmas are pathogenic bacteria transmitted by insects, causing significant economic losses in crops worldwide. The microbial community associated with insect vectors plays a role in their biology and vector competence. Studying the diversity of the microbiome of phytoplasma insect vectors is important for developing microbe-based pest control strategies and reducing the use of insecticides. This study used RNA-Seq data to analyze the microbial community associated with the leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus in its native and invasive areas. The findings identified stable microbial associations and highlighted potential targets for biocontrol strategies against Flavescence doree spread in Europe.

New insights from the virome of Halyomorpha halys (Stal, 1855)

Lucrezia Giovannini et al.

Summary: The brown marmorated stink bug is an invasive pest with a wide range of attacks, causing significant economic and ecological damage. Conventional insecticide control methods have proven ineffective, leading to the need for biological control strategies. This study described 7 new viral sequences associated with the brown marmorated stink bug for the first time, and further research is needed to evaluate the effects of these viruses on their host.

Impact of covert infections with an RNA virus on the susceptibility of Spodoptera exigua to natural enemies

Adria Mengual-Marti et al.

Summary: Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs aim to minimize the use of chemical insecticides by applying alternative methods. Recent research has discovered many novel viral pathogens in insect pests, some of which cause covert infections without evident symptoms. This study analyzed the possible impact of viral infections on the activity of natural enemies used for pest control. The results show that the tested natural enemies are not negatively affected by the virus and their action remains similar or enhanced by the covert infections.

Sequence diversity and evolution of a group of iflaviruses associated with ticks

Romain Daveu et al.

Summary: The study identified a group of tick-associated viruses with characteristics of the family Iflaviridae, explored RNA-Seq data sets for different tick species, and detected new virus species and genome sequences. Analysis revealed strong positive selection in the evolution of these viruses and recurrent host changes across tick genera. The findings provide insight into the interactions between this family of viruses and ticks.

Influence of Microclimate Factors on Halyomorpha halys Dehydration

Francesca Grisafi et al.

Summary: Microclimatic factors such as humidity and temperature significantly influence the water loss of the invasive agricultural pest Halyomorpha halys. Transpiration is influenced by feeding regime and sex, with hydration being the first nutritional need of individuals exiting diapause. Population density does not affect water loss in diapausing individuals, indicating that microclimate plays a crucial role in the distribution and activity of H. halys.

Single mosquito metatranscriptomics identifies vectors, emerging pathogens and reservoirs in one assay

Joshua Batson et al.

Summary: Unbiased metatranscriptomic sequencing of wild-caught mosquitoes can rapidly provide information on the various pathogens they carry, and analyze the host mosquito species, microbial prevalence, and viral co-infections. This method can provide valuable information for public health surveillance and intervention decisions.
