RNA Viruses Are Prevalent and Active Tenants of the Predatory Mite Phytoseiulus persimilis (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

The Host Plant Strongly Modulates Acaricide Resistance Levels to Mitochondrial Complex Ii Inhibitors in a Multi-Resistant Field Population of Tetranychus Urticae

“…Since specifically the bean population (and not tomato) was contaminated with viruses, we considered the possibility that the presence of viruses might have an influence on acaricide toxicity. Previous studies have identified the presence of viruses in arthropods (Berman et al, 2023;Niu et al, 2019;Wu et al, 2020). Even so, the presence of such large amounts of viral RNA reads has not been reported in previous RNA sequencing datasets of T.…”
