Iteradensovirus from the Monarch Butterfly, Danaus plexippus plexippus
The 5,006-nucleotide (nt)-long genome of a new virus from monarch butterfly pupae was cloned and sequenced. It was flanked by inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) of 239 nt with 163-nt hairpins. The monosense genome with three open reading frames is typical of the genus Iteradensovirus in the subfamily Densovirinae of the family Parvoviridae.
متن کاملA neo-sex chromosome in the Monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus
We report the discovery of a neo-sex chromosome in Monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus, and several of its close relatives. Z-linked scaffolds in the D. plexippus genome assembly were identified via sex-specific differences in Illumina sequencing coverage. Additionally, a majority of the D. plexippus genome assembly was assigned to chromosomes based on counts of 1-to-1 orthologs relative to the...
متن کاملEffects of Duration and Timing of Heat Stress on Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) Development
Exposure to temperatures above 29?C has been shown to be detrimental to the de velopment of Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus L.) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) larvae, while it has been assumed that temperatures above 33? are lethal. However, the details of larval sensitiv ity to high temperatures are not clearly understood. We examined the effects of different lengths and timing of high-tempera...

متن کاملInstar susceptibility of the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) to the neogregarine parasite, Ophryocystis elektroscirrha.
The susceptibility of the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) larvae to the neogregarine parasite, Ophryocystis elektroscirrha, was tested in the laboratory. Spore loads recovered from infected monarch butterflies were directly related to the inoculum level, larval stage of the host, and spore age. There was a linear relationship between spores ingested by first instar larvae and spore concent...
