TL;DR: The hypothesis that DlRhV is transmitted transovarially or through larval feeding on infected host hemolymph is supported and further studies are needed to determine whether the Dl RhV that ultimately resides within the female wasp's accessory gland filaments is the progeny of the virus from the egg and/or larval midgut cells.

TL;DR: In DMelSV, host mutagenesis is constraining viral evolution both within and between hosts, and there is evidence of mutations segregating within hosts, hereafter referred to as hypervariable sites.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a dynamic of “formative frustration” is an important aspect for a successful CURE, because iterations can be performed quickly and are inexpensive in both time and money.

TL;DR: Viral infection may provide males an advantage in sperm competition, or, possibly, females may preferentially use infected sperm in sexual conflict in Drosophila melanogaster.

TL;DR: Titre did respond to selection in the biparental regime, although both high and control lines both demonstrated increased titre, while the titre of the low lines did not change.
