Sequence, assembly and count datasets of viruses associated to the pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Denis & Schiffermuller) (Lepidoptera, Notodontidae) identified from transcriptomic high-throughput sequencing.

ABSTRACT: The pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa is a Lepidopteran pest species occurring in the Western Mediterranean. It causes heavy pine defoliations and it is a public and animal health concern because of its urticating caterpillars. Very little is known about the viruses associated to this species, as only two viruses were described so far. We here present a dataset corresponding to 34 viral transcripts, among which 27 could be confidently assigned to 9 RNA and DNA viral families (Iflaviridae, Reoviridae, Partitiviridae, Permutotetraviridae, Flaviviridae, Rhabdoviridae, Parvoviridae, Baculoviridae and PolyDNAviridae). These transcripts were identified from an original transcriptome assembled for the insect host, using both blast search and phylogenetic approac
