Abstract

The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, is an important pest in the worldwide citrus industry. It is the vector of “ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus,” the bacterial pathogen of Huanglongbing, which is currently considered the most destructive disease of citrus worldwide. DcRV was previously identified based on metagenomics surveys for virus discovery. Here, we found that this novel and persistent insect reovirus took advantage of a virus-encoded nonstructural protein, P10, for efficient vertical transmission from parents to progeny. P10 assembled into a virion-packaging tubular structure and was associated with oocytes of female D. citri and sperm of males. Consistent with this, knockdown of P10 for either male or female D. citri insects inhibited DcRV transmission to offspring. This tubular strategy for viral spread and biparental transmission might serve as a target for controlling viral vertical transmission and population expansion.
