• Risk profile related to production and consumption of insects as food and feed (2015, background): “The most frequent infection in crickets is caused by densoviruses (Parvoviridae) (Weissman et al., 2012; Szelei et al., 2011) and by viruses of the order Picornavirales (cricket paralysis virus, Discistroviridae).”
• Diseases in insects produced for food and feed (2015, background): “These challenges with house crickets are confirmed by literature references (Liu et al. , 2011, Weissmann et al. , 2012).”
