A Vertical RoWV-1 transmission to offspring (F1) and B horizontal RoWV-1 transmission from RoWV-1 (–) to RoWV-1 (+) wasps. RoWV-1 infection was determined by RT-PCR with specific primers PVDA-1/PVDS-1 and PVDA-2/PVDS-2 followed by gel electrophoresis at the indicated days. C RoWV-1 contamination in feces remaining tubes that had held wasps. Feces were dissolved in RNase-free water and RoWV-1 was detected as in B.
