Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Insect-specific and insect-borne viruses (particularly RNA viruses) may pose a serious threat to global rice production. However, the effects of geographic genetic divergence and ecological viral communities in shaping insect viromes remain poorly understood. The striped stem borer, Chilo suppressalis-a notorious chewing pest widely distributed across China-serves as an ideal model to study RNA virus...
