Abstract

Negeviruses are a group of insect-specific viruses (ISVs) that have been found in many arthropods. Their presence in important vector species led us to examine their interactions with arboviruses during coinfections. Wild-type negeviruses reduced the replication of several alphaviruses during coinfections in mosquito cells. Negev virus (NEGV) isolates were also used to express green fluorescent protein (GFP) and anti-chikungunya virus (CHIKV) antibody fragments during coinfections with CHIKV. NEGV expressing anti-CHIKV antibody fragments was able to further reduce replication of CHIKV during coinfections, while reductions of CHIKV with NEGV expressing GFP were similar to titers with wild-type NEGV alone. These results are the first to show that negeviruses induce superinfection exclusion of arboviruses and to demonstrate a novel approach to deliver antiviral antibody fragments with paratransgenic ISVs. The ability to inhibit arbovirus replication and express exogenous proteins in mosquito cells makes negeviruses a promising platform for control of arthropod-borne pathogens. Negeviruses are a group of insect-specific viruses (ISVs), viruses known to infect only insects. They have been discovered over a wide geographical and species range. Their ability to infect mosquito species that transmit dangerous arboviruses makes negeviruses a candidate for a pathogen control platform. Coinfections of mosquito cells with a negevirus and an alphavirus demonstrated that negeviruses can inhibit the replication of alphaviruses. Additionally, modifying Negev virus (NEGV) to express a fragment of an anti-CHIKV antibody further reduced the replication of CHIKV in coinfected cells. This is the first evidence to demonstrate that negeviruses can inhibit the replication of important arboviruses in mosquito cells. The ability of a modified NEGV to drive the expression of antiviral proteins also highlights a method for negeviruses to target specific pathogens and limit the incidence of vector-borne diseases.

摘要

尼格病毒是一组昆虫特异性病毒(ISVs),已在许多节肢动物中发现。它们在重要媒介物种中的存在促使我们研究它们在共同感染时与虫媒病毒的相互作用。在蚊细胞的共同感染中,野生型尼格病毒减少了几种甲病毒的复制。尼格病毒(NEGV)分离株也被用于在与基孔肯雅病毒(CHIKV)的共同感染中表达绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)和抗基孔肯雅病毒的抗体片段。表达抗 CHIKV 抗体片段的 NEGV 能够在共同感染中进一步降低 CHIKV 的复制,而表达 GFP 的 NEGV 对 CHIKV 的减少与单独使用野生型 NEGV 的滴度相似。这些结果首次表明,尼格病毒诱导虫媒病毒的超感染排斥,并证明了使用转寄生 ISVs 传递抗病毒抗体片段的新方法。在蚊细胞中抑制虫媒病毒复制和表达外源蛋白的能力使尼格病毒成为控制节肢动物传播病原体的有前途的平台。尼格病毒是一组昆虫特异性病毒(ISVs),已知这些病毒只感染昆虫。它们已在广泛的地理和物种范围内被发现。它们能够感染传播危险虫媒病毒的蚊子物种,这使尼格病毒成为病原体控制平台的候选者。用尼格病毒和甲病毒共同感染蚊子细胞表明,尼格病毒可以抑制甲病毒的复制。此外,修饰 Negev 病毒(NEGV)以表达抗 CHIKV 抗体的片段进一步降低了共同感染细胞中 CHIKV 的复制。这是首次证明尼格病毒可以抑制蚊子细胞中重要虫媒病毒复制的证据。修饰的 NEGV 驱动抗病毒蛋白表达的能力也突出了一种利用尼格病毒针对特定病原体并限制媒介传播疾病发生率的方法。
