The discovery, distribution and diversity of DNA viruses associated withDrosophila melanogasterin Europe
AbstractDrosophila melanogasteris an important model for antiviral immunity in arthropods, but very few DNA viruses have been described from the family Drosophilidae. This deficiency limits our opportunity to use natural host-pathogen combinations in experimental studies, and may bias our understanding of theDrosophilavirome. Here we report fourteen DNA viruses detected in a metagenomic analysis of approximately 6500 pool-sequencedDrosophila, sampled from 47 European locations between 2014 and 2016. These include three new Nudiviruses, a new and divergent Entomopox virus, a virus related toLeptopilina boulardifilamentous virus, and a virus related toMusca domesticasalivary gland hypertrophy…

This deficiency limits our opportunity to use natural host-pathogen combinations in experimental studies, and may bias our understanding of the Drosophila virome. Here, we report fourteen DNA viruses detected in a metagenomic analysis of 6668 pool-sequenced Drosophila, sampled from forty-seven European locations between 2014 and 2016. These include three new nudiviruses, a new and divergent entomopoxvirus, a virus related to Leptopilina boulardi filamentous virus, and a virus related to Musca domestica salivary gland hypertrophy viru…
