AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
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.

In Australia, soldier flies are major pests of sugarcane, and they can cause significant yield losses in some areas, possibly due to the virus' transmission to the plants. We sequenced fly larvae salivary glands and identified a novel jingmenvirus, putatively named Inopus flavus jingmenvirus 1 (IFJV1). Phylogenetic trees confirmed that IFJV1 groups with insect-associated jingmenviruses, newly identified flavivirus-like viruses with a segmented genome.
