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 …

Publisher Summary Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), the type member of the cucumovirus
group, was first reported in 1916 as the causal agent of a disease of cucumber and …

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 …

Research on the molecular biology of cucumoviruses and their plant-virus interactions has
been very extensive in the last decade. Cucumovirus genome structures have been …

Aphids are the most common vector of plant viruses. Mechanisms of transmission are best
understood by considering the routes of virus movement in the aphid (circulative versus non …

Most plant viruses are absolutely dependent on a vector for plant-to-plant spread. Although
a number of different types of organisms are vectors for different plant viruses, phloem …

Plant viruses have evolved a wide array of strategies to ensure efficient transfer from one
host to the next. Any organism feeding on infected plants and traveling between plants can …

Background Allergy to peanut is one of the leading causes of anaphylactic reactions among
food allergic patients. Immunization against peanut allergy with a safe and protective …

The mechanisms and impacts of the transmission of plant viruses by insect vectors have
been studied for more than a century. The virus route within the insect vector is amply …

Genetic bottlenecks may occur in virus populations when only a few individuals are
transferred horizontally from one host to another, or when a viral population moves …
