Parasitoid-mediated transmission of an iridescent virus

We examined the interaction between an invertebrate iridescent virus (IIV) isolated from Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) and the solitary ichneumonid endoparasitoid Eiphosoma vitticolle Cresson. In choice tests, parasitoids examined and stung significantly more virus infected than healthy larvae, apparently due to a lack of defense reaction in virus infected hosts. Parasitoid-mediated virus transmission was observed in 100% of the female parasitoids that stung a virus infected host in the laboratory.

Caged field experiments supported this result; virus transmission to healthy larvae only occurred in cages containing infected hosts (as inoculum) and parasitoids (as vectors). The virus was highly detrimental to parasitoid development because of premature host death and lethal infection of the developing endoparasitoid. Female parasitoids that emerged from virus infected hosts did not transmit the virus to healthy hosts.
