Journal Article
Sharpe, S. R., Morrow, J. L., Brettell, L. E., Shearman, D. C., Stuart Gilchrist, A., Cook, J. M., & Riegler, M. (2021). Tephritid fruit flies have a large diversity of co-occurring RNA viruses. Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 186, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jip.2021.107569

Tephritid fruit flies are amongst the most devastating pests of horticulture, and Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) programs have been developed for their control. Their interactions with viruses are still mostly unexplored, yet, viruses may negatively... Read More about Tephritid fruit flies have a large diversity of co-occurring RNA viruses.
