The world's staple food crops, and other food crops that optimize human nutrition, suffer from
global virus disease pandemics and epidemics that greatly diminish their yields and/or …

Most plant viruses rely on vector organisms for their plant-to-plant spread. Although there
are many different natural vectors, few plant virus–vector systems have been well studied …

Epidemiology is the science of how disease develops in populations, with applications in
human, animal and plant diseases. For plant diseases, epidemiology has developed as a …

As a result of human activities, an ever-increasing portion of Earth's natural landscapes now
lie adjacent to agricultural lands. This border between wild and agricultural communities …

Plant viruses are widespread in nature, where they operate in intimate association with their
hosts and often with vectors. Most research on plant viruses to the present has focused on …

This review summarizes research on virus diseases of cereals and oilseeds in Australia
since the 1950s. All viruses known to infect the diverse range of cereal and oilseed crops …

In recent years, mathematical modeling has increasingly been used to complement
experimental and observational studies of biological phenomena across different levels of …

Bactericera (Paratrioza) cockerelli (Šulc)(Hemiptera: Triozidae) is a native American psyllid
