Rhabdoviruses affect human health, terrestrial and aquatic livestock and crops. Most rhabdoviruses are transmitted by insects to their vertebrate or plant hosts. For insect transmission to occur, rhabdoviruses must negotiate barriers to acquisition, replication, movement, escape and inoculation. A better understanding of the molecular interactions of rhabdoviruses with insects will clarify the complexities of rhabdovirus infection processes and epidemiology. A unique opportunity for studying how insects become hosts and vectors of rhabdoviruses is provided by five maize-infecting rhabdoviruses that are differentially transmitted by one or more related species of two divergent homopteran families.
弹状病毒会影响人类健康、陆生和水生家畜以及农作物。大多数弹状病毒通过昆虫传播给它们的脊椎动物或植物宿主。为了实现昆虫传播，弹状病毒必须克服获取、复制、移动、逃逸和接种等障碍。更好地了解弹状病毒与昆虫之间的分子相互作用，将有助于阐明弹状病毒感染过程和流行病学的复杂性。五种感染玉米的弹状病毒为研究昆虫如何成为弹状病毒的宿主和传播媒介提供了一个独特的机会，这五种病毒由两个不同的同翅目科的一种或多种相关物种以不同方式传播。
