Dual-vector transmission of a pepper polerovirus: a plant virus is transmitted by both aphids and the supervector whitefly Bemisia tabaci

Plant viruses play a pivotal role in shaping both natural ecosystems and agricultural landscapes, exerting profound impacts on global crop productivity and food security (Jones & Naidu, 2019). These pathogens cause a wide range of symptoms in plants, including stunting, leaf discoloration, and d...

Descripción
Sumario:Plant viruses play a pivotal role in shaping both natural ecosystems and agricultural landscapes, exerting profound impacts on global crop productivity and food security (Jones & Naidu, 2019). These pathogens cause a wide range of symptoms in plants, including stunting, leaf discoloration, and deformation, and reduced yield that collectively result in significant economic losses world-wide (Jones & Naidu, 2019). In extreme cases, crop damage can reach 100%. The emergence and spread of novel plant viruses, driven by factors such as climate change, global trade, and vector dynamics, pose a persistent and growing threat to sustainable agriculture and food systems (Ristaino et al., 2021).
