Introduction: Asian citrus psyllid (ACP, ) is an important transmission vector of " Liberibacter asiaticus" (Las), the causal agent of Huanglongbing (HLB), the most destructive citrus disease in the world. As there are currently no HLB-resistant rootstocks or varieties, the control of ACP is an important way to prevent HLB. Some viruses of insect vectors can be used as genetically engineered materials to control insect vectors.

- Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is transmitted by the brown citrus aphid, and RT-qPCR is the most effective method for detecting viruses in these insects.
- The study identified EF-1α and RPAP0 as reliable reference genes for normalizing RT-qPCR results in CTV-infected T. citricida.
- Findings showed that the CTV titer in aphids decreased over time after feeding on healthy plants, with significant losses observed shortly after feeding, especially for the highly transmissible isolate CT11A.
