    Small interfering RNA pathway modulates persistent infection of a plant virus in its insect vector

    Plant reoviruses, rhabdoviruses, tospoviruses, and tenuiviruses are transmitted by insect vectors in a persistent-propagative manner. How such persistent infection of plant viruses in insect vectors is establi...

    Viral pathogens hitchhike with insect sperm for paternal transmission

    Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) can be maternally transmitted by female insects to their offspring, however, it is unknown whether male sperm can directly interact with the arbovirus and mediate its pate...

    Arboviruses and symbiotic viruses cooperatively hijack insect sperm-specific proteins for paternal transmission

    Arboviruses and symbiotic viruses can be paternally transmitted by male insects to their offspring for long-term viral persistence in nature, but the mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we identify the sp...
