Abstract：
Aphids are common agricultural pests with a wide range of hosts from agriculture to forestry plants. As known, aphids also serve as the major vectors to transmit plant viruses. Although numerous studies have focused on interactions between aphids and plant viruses, little is known about the aphid viruses, i.e., the insect viruses that are infectious to aphids. In the past four decades, several aphid viruses have been identified in diverse aphid species. In this review, we present a brief view of the aphid pathogenic viruses from several aspects, including classification of aphid viruses and characters of the viral genome, integration of viral sequences in host genomes, infection symptoms and influence on aphids, as well as host range and transmission modes. Taken together, these studies have increased our understanding of the rarely known aphid viruses, and will potentially contribute to the development of new strategies for controlling aphid populations.
摘要：
蚜虫是常见的农业害虫，宿主范围广泛，从农业到林业植物。众所周知,蚜虫也是传播植物病毒的主要载体。尽管许多研究都集中在蚜虫和植物病毒之间的相互作用，对蚜虫病毒知之甚少，即，对蚜虫有传染性的昆虫病毒。在过去的四十年里,已经在不同的蚜虫物种中发现了几种蚜虫病毒。在这次审查中,我们从几个方面简要介绍了蚜虫致病病毒，包括蚜虫病毒的分类和病毒基因组的特征，病毒序列在宿主基因组中的整合，感染症状和对蚜虫的影响，以及主机范围和传输模式。一起来看,这些研究增加了我们对鲜为人知的蚜虫病毒的了解，并可能有助于开发控制蚜虫种群的新策略。
