The majority of plant-infecting viruses are transmitted to their host plants by vectors. The
interactions between viruses and vector vary in duration and specificity but some common …

Acquisition and transmission by an insect vector is central to the infection cycle of the
majority of plant pathogenic viruses. Plant viruses can interact with their insect host in a …

Hemipteran insects are devastating pests of crops due to their wide host range, rapid
reproduction, and ability to transmit numerous plant-infecting pathogens as vectors. While …

Plant viruses possess adaptations for facilitating acquisition, retention, and inoculation by
vectors. Until recently, it was hypothesized that these adaptations are limited to virus …

Huanglongbing, or citrus greening disease, is an economically devastating bacterial
disease of citrus. It is associated with infection by the gram-negative bacterium Candidatus …

Rice reoviruses, transmitted by leafhopper or planthopper vectors in a persistent
propagative manner, seriously threaten the stability of rice production in Asia …

The majority of plant viruses are transmitted by insect vectors between hosts, and
