“…This virus multiplies in insect cells causing hypertrophy of the nuclei with the formation of viruscontaining inclusion bodies (polyhedra), while non-occluded virus (NOV) particles can be seen in diseased tissues. After 8-10 days, cell destruction causes the release of polyhedra in the infected tissue [268]. During viral infection, the amount of potassium dramatically drops causing severe acidosis, and higher sulfur levels are present compared to healty larvae [261].…”

Edible insects are expected to become an important nutrient source for animals and humans in the Western world in the near future. Only a few studies on viruses in edible insects with potential for industrial rearing have been published and concern only some edible insect species. Viral pathogens that can infect insects could be non-pathogenic, or pathogenic to the insects themselves, or to humans and animals. The objective of this systematic review is to provide an overview of the viruses detected in edible insects currently considered for use in food and/or feed in the European Union or appropriate for mass rearing, and to collect information on clinical symptoms in insects and on the vector role of insects themselves. Many different virus species have been detected in edible insect species showing promise for mass production systems. These viruses could be a risk for mass insect rearing systems causing acute high mortality, a drastic decline in growth in juvenile stages and in the reproductive performance of adults. Furthermore, some viruses could pose a risk to human and animal health where insects are used for food and feed.
