Euproctis pseudoconspersa is a major pest of tea plants, and also causes a skin rash on workers in tea plantations. Research on virus could provide fundamental insights for classification, genetic diversity, evolution, and host–virus interaction mechanisms. Here, we identified a novel RNA virus, Euproctis pseudoconspersa bunyavirus (Phenuiviridae), and found that it is widely distributed in field populations of E. pseudoconspersa. The replication of virus in E. pseudoconspersa was indicated by Tag-PCR. These results contribute to the classification of bunyaviruses and provide insight into the diversity of commensal E. pseudoconspersa bunyavirus and the host.

一种新型布尼亚病毒在茶草蛾 Euproctis pseudoconspersa（鳞翅目：lymantriidae）中的流行

Euproctis pseudoconspersa是茶树的主要害虫，也会导致茶园工人出现皮疹。对病毒的研究可以为分类、遗传多样性、进化和宿主-病毒相互作用机制提供基本的见解。在这里，我们鉴定了一种新的 RNA 病毒，即 Euproctis pseudoconspersa bunyavirus (Phenuiviridae)，并发现它广泛分布于 E. pseudoconspersa 的田间种群中。Tag-PCR 表明病毒在 E. pseudoconspersa 中的复制。这些结果有助于布尼亚病毒的分类，并提供对共生 E. pseudoconspersa bunyavirus 和宿主的多样性的深入了解。
