Native Australian soldier flies, Inopus spp. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), are agricultural pests of economic importance to the sugarcane industry. A screen of the salivary gland transcriptome of Inopus flavus (James) revealed the presence of viral RNA belonging to a potentially novel member of the family Dicistroviridae. The complete genome sequence consists of 9793 nucleotides with two open reading frames. The genome includes two potential internal ribosomal entry sites (IRESs): one within the 5' UTR and the other in the intergenic region (IGR). Virus particles purified from infected larvae and visualised by electron microscopy were found to be icosahedral, non-enveloped, and 30 nm in diameter.
本土澳大利亚士兵蝇属(双翅目:Stratiomyidae)是甘蔗产业的经济重要农业害虫。对 Inopus flavus(James)唾液腺转录组的筛选显示存在属于 Dicistroviridae 家族潜在新成员的病毒 RNA。完整基因组序列由 9793 个核苷酸组成,包含两个开放阅读框。基因组包含两个潜在的内部核糖体进入位点(IRES):一个在 5'UTR 内,另一个在基因间区(IGR)内。从感染幼虫中纯化并通过电子显微镜观察到的病毒颗粒为二十面体、无包膜、直径 30nm。
