Figure 1. Double infection of RBSDV and RSV in L. striatellus.

Figure 1

(A) RT-PCR analysis of virus accumulation in individual adult insects. An agarose gel electrophoresis showing virus free (VF; lane 1 and 2), RBSDV-infected (SI_RB; lane 3 and 4), RSV-infected (SI_RSV; lane 5 and 6) and doubly-infected (DI; lane 7 and 8) samples. Lengths of predicted PCR products: RBSDV S1, 691 bp; RSV RNA3, 936 bp. (B) Numbers of L. striatellus carrying single or double viruses or that were virus free from a total of 419 insects analyzed. (C) The proportions of L. striatellus of different genders or wing form [macropterous (long-winged) or brachypterous (short-winged)] in the insect populations carrying single or double viruses or that were virus free.
