The Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens), commonly abbreviated as BSF, has emerged as a fascinating and important insect species in recent years due to its multifaceted ecological and economic roles. Known for its remarkable ability to recycle organic waste and convert it into valuable products, such as animal feed, biofuels, and fertilizers, the BSF has gained considerable attention. With an increasing focus on sustainable agricultural practices and waste management solutions, the BSF has garnered even greater interest in scientific research, particularly in the context of its interactions with pathogens and its immune responses. Viral infections are of particular concern in various organisms, and the BSF is no exception, as it is subject to diverse viral pathogens in its natural and artificial habitats.
