The Discovery, Distribution, and Evolution of Viruses Associated with Drosophila melanogaster.

The Discovery, Distribution, and Evolution of Viruses Associated with Drosophila melanogaster.

Drosophila melanogaster is a valuable invertebrate model for viral infection and antiviral immunity, and is a focus for studies of insect-virus coevolution. Here we use a metagenomic approach to identify more than 20 previously undetected RNA viruses and a DNA virus associated with wild D. melanogas...
