食用昆虫有望在不久的将来成为西方世界动物和人类的重要营养来源。仅发表了关于具有工业饲养潜力的可食用昆虫中的病毒的少数研究，并且仅涉及某些可食用昆虫物种。可以感染昆虫的病毒病原体可能是非致病性的，或者对昆虫本身有致病性，或人类和动物。本系统评价的目的是概述目前在欧盟考虑用于食品和/或饲料或适合大规模饲养的可食用昆虫中检测到的病毒，并收集有关昆虫的临床症状和昆虫本身的媒介作用的信息。已在可食用昆虫物种中检测到许多不同的病毒物种，这显示了批量生产系统的希望。这些病毒可能是大规模昆虫饲养系统导致急性高死亡率的风险，幼年期的生长和成年生殖能力的急剧下降。此外，一些病毒可能会对人类和动物健康构成风险，因为昆虫被用作食物和饲料。
Edible insects are expected to become an important nutrient source for animals and humans in the Western world in the near future. Only a few studies on viruses in edible insects with potential for industrial rearing have been published and concern only some edible insect species. Viral pathogens that can infect insects could be non-pathogenic, or pathogenic to the insects themselves, or to humans and animals. The objective of this systematic
review is to provide an overview of the viruses detected in edible insects currently considered for use in food and/or feed in the European Union or appropriate for mass rearing, and to collect information on clinical symptoms in insects and on the vector role of insects themselves. Many different virus species have been detected in edible insect species showing promise for mass production systems. These viruses could be a risk for mass insect rearing systems causing acute high mortality, a drastic decline in growth in juvenile stages and in the reproductive performance of adults. Furthermore, some viruses could pose a risk to human and animal health where insects are used for food and feed.
