Coding-Complete Genome Sequences of an Iteradensovirus and an Alphapermutotetra-Like Virus Identified from the Pine Processionary Moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) in Portugal.

ABSTRACT: The coding-complete genome sequences of an iteradensovirus (family Parvoviridae) and an alphapermutotetra-like virus (family Permutotetraviridae) were discovered from transcriptomic data sets obtained from Thaumetopoea pityocampa larvae collected in Portugal. Each of the coding-complete genome sequences of these viruses contains three main open reading frames (ORFs).

In search of pathogens: transcriptome-based identification of viral sequences from the pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa).

Project description:Thaumetopoea pityocampa (pine processionary moth) is one of the most important pine pests in the forests of Mediterranean countries, Central Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Apart from causing significant damage to pinewoods, T. pityocampa occurrence is also an issue for public and animal health, as it is responsible for dermatological reactions in humans and animals by contact with its irritating hairs. High throughput sequencing technologies have allowed the fast and cost-effective generation of genetic information of interest to understand different biological aspects of non-model organisms as well as the identification of potential pathogens. Using these technologies, we have obtained and characterized the transcriptome of T. pityocampa larvae collected in 12 different geographical locations in Turkey. cDNA libraries for Illumina sequencing were prepared from four larval tissues, head, gut, fat body and integument. By pooling the sequences from Illumina platform with those previously published using the Roche 454-FLX and Sanger methods we generated the largest reference transcriptome of T. pityocampa. In addition, this study has also allowed identification of possible viral pathogens with potential application in future biocontrol strategies.

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.

Project description: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 approaches. The data were acquired from 2 populations in Portugal and 2 populations in Italy. The transcripts were de novo assembled and used to identify viral sequences by homology searches. We also provide information about the populations and life stages in which each virus was identified. The data produced will allow to enrich the virus taxonomy in Lepidopteran hosts, and to develop PCR-based diagnostic tools to screen colonies across the range and determine the distribution and prevalence of the identified viral species.

Coding-Complete Genome Sequence of a Partitivirus Isolated from Pine Processionary Moth Eggs.

Project description:Two coding-complete nucleotide sequences of a partitivirus (family Partitiviridae) were discovered in transcriptomic data sets obtained from eggs of the Lepidoptera Thaumetopoea pityocampa Each segment encodes a single open reading frame, and these two segments are predicted to encode an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and a coat protein, respectively.

Complete mitogenome data from a summer population specimen of the urticating pine defoliator Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Lepidoptera, Notodontidae, Thaumetopoeinae, Thaumetopoea).

Project description:We present a de novo mitogenome assembly obtained from specimens sampled in the so-called summer population (SP) of Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Denis and Schiffermüller, 1775) in Portugal. Contrary to the typical larval development occurring in winter in this species, the larvae of this unique population develop during summer. The sequencing data used were obtained from genomic libraries originally generated to assemble the nuclear genome of T. pityocampa[1]. We also provide a complete annotation and a phylogenetic representation which positions the Portuguese summer population of T. pityocampa and an Italian typical individual of the same species among the Notodontidae family and more distant Noctuoidea species. This data represents a valuable new resource for an expanding and urticating insect pest.

Bat diversity boosts ecosystem services: evidence from pine processionary moth predation

Bats from different foraging guilds prey upon the pine processionary moth.

Project description:Outbreaks of the processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775), a forest pest from the Palearctic, are thought to induce a behavioral response of bats, but up to now the moth has been seldom identified as bats' prey. Studies on bat diets suggest moths with cyclical outbreaks attract a wide array of bat species from different foraging guilds. We test whether bats feed upon T. pityocampa in the Iberian Peninsula irrespective of the predator's ecological and morphological features. We found that seven out of ten bat species belonging to different foraging guilds contained T. pityocampa DNA in their faeces and no difference was found in the foraging frequency among foraging guilds. A different size of the typical prey or the lack of fondness for moths can explain the absence of the pest in some bat species. Moreover, the intraspecific foraging frequency of T. pityocampa also changed with the sampling site likely representing differential availability of the moth. Lack of information on flight and dispersal behavior or the tympanate nature of the adult moth complicates understanding how different foraging guilds of bats prey upon the same prey. Our data suggests that T. pityocampa is a remarkable food source for many thousands of individual bats in the study area and we anticipate that more bats besides the species studied here are consuming this moth.

Identification and analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae).

Project description:The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) provides important information for phylogenetic analysis and understanding evolutionary origins. Thaumetopoea pityocampa is a forest pest that harms nearly all cedar and pine species. In this study, the T. pityocampa mitochondrial genome was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. The sequence length of the genome was found to be 15,737 bp, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and an A + T-rich region compared with the genomes of other lepidopterans. The overall nucleotide composition is: 37.3% T, 40.5% A, 14.6% C, and 7.6% G, demonstrating an AT bias (A + T: 77.8%). Our phylogenetic tree analysis results showed that T. pityocampa and Ochrogaster lunifer were the most similar species, with the closest evolutionary distance. The mitogenome sequence determined in this study will contribute to improved understanding of Notodontidae evolution.
