However, there is no comparative study on virus diversity and relative abundance between termites, castes and body parts in termites. To address this gap, pseudergates of <jats:italic>Cryptotermes declivis<\/jats:italic>, workers of the <jats:italic>Odontotermes formosanus<\/jats:italic>, and workers, soldiers and alates of the <jats:italic>Reticulitermes chinensis<\/jats:italic> were used as experimental materials to perform virome sequencing, virus annotations and their relative abundance analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>It was found that three termites showed different virome taxonomic compositions, abundances and distributions. Small number of viruses were detected in the head, which indicated that the diversity of the virus in the thorax\u2010abdomen is greater than that in the head. Notable differences in viruses between castes in <jats:italic>R. chinensis<\/jats:italic> were observed. Eight candidate viruses from the virome of <jats:italic>R. chinensis<\/jats:italic> were cloned and identified. To check the influences of viruses on termite behaviors, RNA interference of <jats:italic>R. chinensis<\/jats:italic> betsystermes virus (RcBsV) and <jats:italic>R. chinensis<\/jats:italic> bracovirus (RcBV) was successfully performed. The relative abundance of the two targeted viruses were significantly decreased in workers of <jats:italic>R. chinensis<\/jats:italic> fed on dsRcBsV and dsRcBV. The duration of aggressive behaviors significantly increased, while altruistic behaviors significantly decreased, suggesting that the reduced relative abundance of RcBsV and RcBV resulted in the disruption of normal social behaviors in termites.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title><jats:p>These findings enhance our understanding of viral diversity in different
