Gonad-specific virus of corn earworm

Two closely related species of moths, the corn earworm Helicoverpa zea, in the United States, and the legume pod borer/cotton bollworm H. armigera, in Asia, Africa and parts of Europe, constitute major pests of several field crops. In a colony of H. zea, maintained at Stoneville, Mississippi, we obs...

description Two closely related species of moths, the corn earworm Helicoverpa zea, in the United States, and the legume pod borer/cotton bollworm H. armigera, in Asia, Africa and parts of Europe, constitute major pests of several field crops. In a colony of H. zea, maintained at Stoneville, Mississippi, we observed atrophy of the reproductive system in 20-55% of adults (mean 35% over seven generations), with no mating observed among such adults. Here we report the discovery of a previously undescribed virus associated with these agonadal (AG) moths. Ultrastructural studies have shown that the virus is confined to the reproductive system; therefore we designate it a gonad-specific virus (GSV). Normal-looking females among the GSV-infected progeny do carry the virus. It is therefore feasible that GSV could be introduced into the natural population of H. zea by infecting newly emerged females with a very low titre of the virus and releasing these females into the field.
