Triatomine bugs of the genera and are vectors of Chagas disease, a neglected tropical disease of humans in South America caused by . Triatoma virus (TrV), a natural pathogen of , has been proposed as a possible tool for the bio-control of triatomine bugs, but research into this virus has been hampered by a lack of suitable host cells for propagation. Here we report establishment and partial characterisation of continuous cell lines from embryos of (TIE/LULS54) and (RPE/LULS53 and RPE/LULS57). RNAseq screening by a sequence-independent, single primer amplification approach confirmed the absence of TrV and other RNA viruses known to infect , indicating that these new cell lines could be used for propagation of TrV.
属和属的锥蝽是恰加斯病的传播媒介,恰加斯病是南美洲一种被忽视的人类热带疾病,由[病原体名称缺失]引起。锥蝽病毒(TrV)是[锥蝽属名称缺失]的一种天然病原体,已被提议作为一种可能的锥蝽生物防治工具,但对这种病毒的研究因缺乏适合其繁殖的宿主细胞而受到阻碍。在这里,我们报告了从[锥蝽属名称缺失](TIE/LULS54)和[锥蝽属名称缺失](RPE/LULS53和RPE/LULS57)胚胎中建立连续细胞系并对其进行部分特性鉴定。通过一种不依赖序列的单引物扩增方法进行的RNAseq筛选证实不存在TrV和其他已知感染[锥蝽属名称缺失]的RNA病毒,这表明这些新的细胞系可用于TrV的繁殖。
