Article Abstract
Defective viral genomes (DVGs) are fragments derived from defective interfering particles (DIPs) that form during viral replication. They play important roles by interfering with complete virus replication and regulating host immune responses. Advances in high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and bioinformatic technology have significantly improved the ability to identify DIPs and DVGs. Their heterogeneity and dynamic formation mechanisms have been analyzed using long-read sequencing technologies. Both DIPs and DVGs inhibit wild-type viral proliferation by competing for viral replication resources and activating innate immune pathways such as those of retinoic acid-inducible gene 1 and mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein. This might influence infection outcomes by regulating inflammatory cytokine storms. The clinical application of DIPs and DVGs in their natural attenuated virus forms has been investigated in terms of novel vaccine design and antiviral therapy. This report systematically reviews cutting-edge detection techniques, molecular mechanisms, and translational medicine advances of DIPs and DVGs and provides a theoretical basis for developing broad-spectrum antiviral strategies based on DIPs.

RNA viruses pose a significant global public health burden due to their high mutation rates, zoonotic potential, and ability to evade immune responses. A common aspect of their replication is the generation of defective interfering particles (DIPs), which contain truncated defective viral genomes (DVGs) that depend on full-length standard (STD) virus for replication. DVGs have gained recognition as they are increasingly detected in clinical samples from natural infections.

Defective interfering particles (DIPs) are particles containing defective viral genomes (DVGs) generated during viral replication. DIPs have been found in various RNA viruses, especially in influenza viruses. Evidence indicates that DIPs interfere with the replication and encapsulation of wild-type viruses, namely standard viruses (STVs) that contain full-length viral genomes.

Defective interfering particles (DIPs) are naturally occurring products during virus replication in infected cells. DIPs contain defective viral genomes (DVGs) and interfere with replication and propagation of their corresponding standard viral genomes by competing for viral and cellular resources, as well as promoting innate immune antiviral responses. Consequently, for many different viruses, including mammarenaviruses, DIPs play key roles in the outcome of infection.

Viral defective interfering particles (DIPs) were intensely studied several decades ago but research waned leaving open many critical questions. New technologies and other advances led to a resurgence in DIP studies for negative-strand RNA viruses. While DIPs have long been recognized, their exact contribution to the outcome of acute or persistent viral infections has remained elusive.
