<i>Wolbachia</i> -mediated viral transmission enhancement in insect vectors
's antiviral effects in mosquitoes, highlighting a context-dependent "hitchhiking" strategy for viral dissemination. The WSP-P8 interaction presents a specific target for inhibiting SRBSDV transmission without resorting to pesticides, proposing a symbiont-informed approach as a sustainable strategy against rice viral diseases.
