چکیده

Parasitoid wasps are important natural enemies of arthropod hosts in natural and agricultural ecosystems and are often associated with viruses or virion-like particles. here,we report a novel negative-stranded rna virus from a parasitoid wasp (pteromalus puparum). the complete viral genome is 12,230 nucleotides in length,containing five non-overlapping,linearly arranged open reading frames. phylogenetically,the virus clusters with and is a novel member of the mononegaviral family nyamiviridae,here designated as pteromalus puparum negative-strand rna virus 1 (ppnsrv-1). ppnsrv-1 is present in various tissues and life stages of the parasitoid wasp,and is transmitted vertically through infected females and males. virus infections in field populations of p. puparum wasps ranged from 16.7 to 37.5%,without linearly correlating with temperature. ppnsrv-1 increased adult longevity and impaired several fitness parameters of the wasp,but had no influence on successful parasitism. strikingly,ppnsrv-1 mediated the offspring sex ratio by decreasing female offspring numbers. rna interference knockdown of virus open reading frame i eliminated these ppnsrv-1-induced effects. thus,we infer that ppnsrv-1 has complex effects on its insect host including sex ratio distortion towards males,as well as possible mutualistic benefits through increasing wasp longevity. © 2017 public library of science. all rights reserved.
