Network Analysis of the Papaya Orchard Virome from Two Agroecological Regions of Chiapas, Mexico
ABSTRACT The study of complex ecological interactions, such as those among host, pathogen, and vector communities, can help to explain host ranges and the emergence of novel pathogens. We evaluated the viromes of papaya orchards, including weed and insect viromes, to identify common viruses in inten...

We evaluated the viromes of papaya orchards, including weed and insect viromes, to identify common viruses in intensive production of papaya in the Pacific Coastal Plain and the Central Depression of Chiapas, Mexico. Samples of papaya cultivar Maradol, susceptible to papaya ringspot virus (PRSV), were categorized by symptoms by local farmers (papaya ringspot symptoms, non-PRSV symptoms, or asymptomatic). These analyses revealed the presence of 61 viruses, where only 4 species were shared among both regions, 16 showed homology to known viruses, and 36 were homologous with genera including Potyvirus, Comovirus, and Tombusvirus (RNA viruses) and Begomovirus and Mastrevirus (DNA viruses). We analyzed the network of associations between viruses and host-location combinations, revealing ecological properties of the network, such as an asymmetric nested pattern, and compared the observed network to null models of network association. Understanding the network structure informs management strategies, for example, revealing the potential role of PRSV in asymptomatic papaya and that weeds may be an important pathogen reservoir. We identify three key management implications: (i) each region may need a customized management strategy; (ii) visual assessment of papaya may be insufficient for PRSV, requiring diagnostic assays; and (iii) weed control within orchards may reduce the risk of virus spread to papaya. Network analysis advances understanding of host-pathogen interactions in the agroecological landscape. IMPORTANCE Virus-virus interactions in plants can modify host symptoms. As a result, disease management strategies may be unsuccessful if they are based solely on visual assessment and diagnostic assays for known individual viruses. Papaya ringspot virus is an important limiting factor for papaya production and likely has interactions with other viruses that are not yet known. Using high-throughput sequencing, we recovered known and novel RNA and DNA viruses from papaya orchards in Chiapas, Mexico, and categorized them by host and, in the case of papaya, symptom type: asymptomatic papaya, papaya with ringspot virus symptoms, papaya with nonringspot symptoms, weeds, and insects. Using network analysis, we demonstrated virus associations within and among host types and described the ecological community patterns. Recovery of viruses from weeds and asymptomatic papaya suggests the need for additional management attention.
