RNA viral titers are often suppressed in insects co-infected with the bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia. This property has been used to suppress transmission of the ragged rice stunt virus from its insect host, the brown planthopper, to the rice plant.
昆虫感染共生细菌沃尔巴克氏体后,其体内的 RNA 病毒滴度通常会受到抑制。利用这一特性,可以抑制其传播介体褐飞虱向水稻传播锯齿叶矮缩病毒。
