Plant viruses cause considerable economic losses and are a threat for sustainable
agriculture. The frequent emergence of new viral diseases is mainly due to international …

Hemipterans (such as aphids, whiteflies, and leafhoppers) are some of the most devastating
insect pests due to the numerous plant pathogens they transmit as vectors, which are …

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

Plant viruses are known to infect most economically important crops and pose a major threat
to global food security. Currently, few resistant host phenotypes have been delineated, and …

Virus evolution is the change in the genetic structure of a viral population over time and
results in the emergence of new viral variants, strains, and species with novel biological …

Robotic systems for disease detection in greenhouses are expected to improve disease
control, increase yield, and reduce pesticide application. We present a robotic detection …

Many animal and plant viruses depend on arthropods for their transmission. Virus-vector
interactions are highly specific, and only one vector or one of a group of vectors from the …

Herbivorous insects, likewise, other organisms, are exposed to diverse communities of
microbes from the surrounding environment. Insects and microorganisms associated with …

Many plant viruses depend on insect vectors for their transmission and dissemination. The
whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is one of the most important virus vectors …

In the last decades, the interest in biological activity of natural compounds has been
growing. In plant protection, essential oils have been reported to exhibit antiviral …
