Cotesia vestalis (Haliday) is a braconid wasp (subfamily Microgastrinae) and biological control agent of the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella. C. vestalis belongs to a group of wasps known as the "microgastroid complex" that produces bracoviruses. Genes encoding bracovirus proteins are integrated into the wasp genome. Screens for viral genes in the wasp genome revealed genes of viral origin from a second type of virus. Manual annotation of viral genes and phylogenetic analysis revealed that C. vestalis has independently acquired integrated endogenous virus elements related to the Leptopilina boulardi filamentous virus.
