  • Notes: The present study focuses on various aspects of the interaction between AnvRV, AnvDV, and AnvIfV and the adult A. vladimiri, and the ecological context of these viruses. The transmission and prevalence of the three viruses in parasitoids and mealybugs collected in the field were assessed, and a broad survey was conducted, searching for closely related viral sequences in other Chalcidoid wasps and mealybugs using data mining. https://doi.org/10.1128/spectrum.01636-25
